Eduardo Rodriguez
After a promising 2015 rookie season where Eduardo Rodriguez went 10-6 with a 3.85 ERA, the first 2 months of the following season was cut short due to injury.
When Rodriguez returned, he began to get back into the bad habits he had in 2015. He began to tip his pitches in which the batters could tell what he was going to throw.
After a start against the last place Tampa Bay Rays where Rodriguez let up 9 earned runs in 2.2 innings pitched, he was sent down to Triple-A Pawtucket to figure out his mechanics.
A few months into the season, the Red Sox were in need for the rotation to step up and have quality starts. But throughout that stretch, Rodriguez was not the guy.
At the end of the season, E-Rod had a record of 3-7 with a 4.71 ERA. And after his efforts in 2016, he will be fighting for a spot in the rotation during the upcoming Spring Training.
