Joel Sherman brings it up in his latest Hardball column, and even gives us a little interleague action stats.
My colleague Mark Hale dug up these numbers for me about Rodriguez in interleague games: Rodriguez has faced an NL team in 45 games covering 50 innings and he has a 1.07 ERA, with just 23 hits allowed (two homers), 20 walks and 67 strikeouts.Well then. Those are some excellent numbers.
In four games pitched against the Mets, K-Rod has earned one save in five innings of work. He's surrendered three hits (one of those two home runs allowed against NL teams -- the Marlon Anderson inside the park home run on June 11, 2005) and two runs allowed for a 3.60 ERA.
This is starting to sound better and better. Now Omar just has to sign him.
