I didn’t want to have to write the sad Paco post. I’m sick of writing about the season-ending injuries and the trade goodbyes. I would rather write about the amazing incredible Justin Turner and his red-headed adventures, but alas I must be the bearer of bad news when it comes to Dodger reliever Paco Rodriguez on this uncharacteristically humid (Florida-like) SoCal summer evening.
It seems like every time I get excited to see a healthy Paco Rodriguez on the mound, he succumbs to another career stalling injury. Stalling seems to be the right description to describe Paco’s untapped talent.
