K-Rod or EKG-Rod, Which Is It

Mike Silva of NY Baseball Digest wonders what we make of K-Rod. I gave my two cents below.

Rodriguez' appearances so far have not been all that clean, however, looking at the numbers you had posted, he's having a very good year. Collins has already alluded to the fact that Francisco needs to be up against the wall in order to extract his best stuff which tells me that Rodriguez is closer to the end than to the beginning of his run as a closer and the moniker of "K-Rod" should be more in-line with "EKG-Rod"
