Pretend that Dereck Rodriguez came to the Giants in a big trade at the deadline, and you’ll be thrilled

There are about 400 things to love about Dereck Rodriguez, and only 373 of them have to do with the extremely detailed tattoo of Michelle Pfieffer’s Catwoman on his arm. If I got a tattoo from movie that came out two weeks after I was born, it would probably be a tattoo of the mashed potato sculpture from Close Encounters, which would rule. This is a good tattoo strategy, and we should thank Rodriguez for discovering it.

But there are other things to love, too. That he looks like he was the original bassist in Machine Head.
