When the SF Giants shook up their bullpen by trading both Tyler Rogers and Camilo Doval, Randy Rodríguez was the natural choice to replace Doval in the ninth inning. So far, he has struggled a bit to adjust to closer duties.
Rodríguez looked un-hittable at time in the first half of the season which earned him an All-Star nod, an impressive feat since he was not a closer at the time. However, in the second half and especially since his elevation to the closer role he has looked much more like a mortal.
