Rodriguez being groomed as backup closer : Manager Davey Johnson told reporters that RP Henry Rodriguez is being groomed to be a backup closer heading into 2012. Johnson said the club is grooming him to close in case RP Drew Storen needs a break next season. "One thing is, he is as strong as an ox," Johnson told MLB.com. "I've used him a few times in a row and he has been outstanding. So he can handle any workload that you throw on him." (Updated 09/27/2011)
