| 'No discussion' of removing Fernando Rodney as closer |
by Jack Moore | CBSSports.com
(5/24/13) The Rays have had "no discussion" of removing Fernando Rodney from the closer role, the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Rodney has blown four saves in 13 opportunities and has a 5.40 ERA in 19 innings after setting an MLB record with a 0.60 mark in 2012. His walk rate has ballooned to 8.4 per nine innings. Apparently, his success last season has earned him some leeway in the early going this season.

| 'No other options' keep Fernando Rodney in closer's role |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(5/23/13) Despite Rays closer Fernando Rodney blowing his fourth save opportunity Wednesday against the Blue Jays and posting a 12.27 ERA in his last four appearances, sending his ERA from 3.68 to 5.40, manager Joe Maddon continues to back him as the team's closer.
"There's no other options," Maddon said, per The Tampa Tribune.

| Fernando Rodney blows another save |
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(5/22/13) Rays closer Fernando Rodney blew his fourth save Wednesday in Toronto. Rodney surrendered a home run to Jose Bautista in the bottom of the ninth to tie the game at 3.
Rodney walked Adam Lind with one out in the inning and was pulled by manager Joe Maddon. Joel Peralta finished the inning to send the game into extra innings.
Rodney has allowed runs in three of his last four appearances and has blown three of his four saves over his last nine outings. His ERA is 5.40.

| Fernando Rodney pulls ninth save |
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(5/21/13) Rays closer Fernando Rodney was asked to record five outs Tuesday in Toronto. Rodney entered in the eighth inning with two runners on base and one out.
On his first pitch in the eighth, Rodney induced a double play to end the inning. He remained on for the ninth in the 4-2 game and allowed a run to score on a wild pitch before recording the save on a strikeout. He went 1 2/3 innings with two strikeouts and one run allowed on a hit and a walk.
Rodney, who now has nine saves on the season, has recorded two consecutive scoreless appearances since allowing three runs on four hits and a hit over 2/3 of an inning against Boston. His ERA is at 5.00.

| Fernando Rodney notches eighth save |
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(5/19/13) Rays closer Fernando Rodney allowed Chris Davis to hit a fly ball to just inches from the center field wall Sunday in Baltimore. Thankfully, that was the closest the Orioles came to scoring off the closer.
Rodney went 1-2-3 in the ninth inning to hold off the Orioles for the 3-1 win. He earned his eighth save as he needed 10 pitches. His ERA is at 4.96.
The 36-year-old rebounded from blowing his third save in his last appearance against Boston May 16. He's been a little shaky this season, but he recorded the outs he needed Sunday.

| When the Rays opted to go with Fernando Rodney as their closer early in the 2012 season, it seemed like an experiment doomed to fail. The Rays began the year with the intention of using a committee to replace incumbent closer Kyle Farnsworth, who was nursing an elbow injury, but Rodney quickly separated himself from the pack. He brushed aside his history of wildness, which contributed to five consecutive seasons with 4.00-plus ERAs, and reportedly, changing his placement on the pitching rubber made a world of difference in his command. The strike-throwing version of Rodney posted a pristine 0.60 ERA and 0.78 WHIP and converted 48 of 50 save chances. While he may have been one of the last relievers you would have trusted with a roster spot in standard mixed leagues a year ago, he is now one of the top 10 options among relief-eligible pitchers.
