7 years agoBoston Red Sox starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez (knee) threw off the mound for the first time in the recovery process, according to Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe. Rodriguez was able to throw 35 pitches, all fastballs and changeups. He feels he’s recovered from surgery in October on his right knee and is focused only on pitching. “I’ll start working the bullpens and see where it goes,” said Rodriguez, who is scheduled for 45 pitches on Saturday. From there he could start live batting practice. When on the mound, Rodriguez can definitely compile strikeouts. In his shortened season last year, he had 150 strikeouts in 137 innings. He will have a rotation spot when he returns, so draft him late and stash him.--Ellis Canady - RotoBaller
