Along with fellow Detroit Tigers like Justin Verlander and Miguel Cabrera, Rodriguez should be in the conversation as a player who could eventually reach the Hall of Fame.
The 15-year veteran pitcher from Venezuela is currently the league-leader in saves for active closing pitchers. But, he also has several other factors going for him.
Currently, the Detroit Tigers closer sits in the #4 spot for all-time saves. He finished 2016 with a total of 430 saves. No other active closer in the MLB today has as many. The only ones who are close are Joe Nathan with 377 and Jonathan Papelbon with 368.
