MINNEAPOLIS -- Fernando Rodney likes to have fun on the mound, wearing his cap tilted to the side and celebrating his saves with his bow and arrow routine. But Rodney has a more serious side to him when it comes to getting himself ready to pitch, as he's worked hard to remain an effective closer despite turning 41 this March.
Rodney joined the Twins in December on a one-year deal worth $4.5 million with a club option, and he said he believes he can keep pitching for several more years just like his friend Bartolo Colon, who pitched with Minnesota last year at 44 years old.
