Where Can I Get A Ivan “Pudge” Rodriguez Texas Rangers Shirt? I have tryed to order a custom one from MLB shop but it wont let me get a custom Rangers shirt with the number 7 and Rodriguez on it
so does anyone know where i can get a #7 Rodriguez Jersey/Shirt thats is from the Texas Rangers
not The Nationals, or The Marlins, not The Tigers, But the Texas Rangers
Ivan “Pudgy” Rodriquez, Completely Overrated? I don’t see what the big deal is with this guy. Plus he admitted/implicated in Steroid use. He is no Varitek or even a Posada. No HOF IMHAO.
http://blogcritics.org/sports/article/ivan-rodriguez-essentially-admits-steroid-use/
I think so. like all steroid users before they get caught, fans regard them as great, but as soon as we see them for what they really are, they’re not that special anymore. he was a good defensive catcher and a good hitter, but when you realize that he cheated, he’s not that good anymore.
What Is Your Favorite Ivan “Pudge” Rodriguez Moment? The legendary catcher has retired from MLB
When he agreed to sign with the Detroit Tigers. At that time, he could have gone just about anywhere in baseball, but he picked the Tigers. And the Tigers were TERRIBLE at the time. Once Pudge signed, others started coming here too. He’s a pretty classy guy in my eyes! He’s also a first ballot Hall of Famer!
Did I Improve My Fantasy Baseball Team? This a a head to head categories 5×5 league. I drafted a team and then made a bunch of trades. 1st, I’ll put my pre trades out of draft team and then the new team. Tell if you think it get better or worse and why please.

Desperate For Saves In Fantasy Baseball!!!? What should i do? there is no one in free agency and I am thinking of just trading someone for a closer, I am desperate for saves and i have 0 saves this week which is just sad………
My roster:
Buster Posey
Prince Fielder
Aaron Hill
Mike Moustakas
Derek Jeter
Jose Bautista
Carlos Beltran
JD Martinez
Adam Lind
Shane Victorino
Ian Desmond
Peter Bourjos
BJ Upton

Francisco Rodriguez
it is a 12 team h2h league and Bell has been struggling to get saves.
One closer won’t do it for you, two might not either. If this is a h2h league I would just throw it and try to get some value out of bell.
