Pudge Rodriguez contract

Don't expect the Tigers and catcher Pudge Rodriguez to be parting ways anytime soon. According to the Detroit News, "If the Tigers pick up Rodriguez's $13 million option for next season, his fourth year in Detroit won't be his last. And at this stage, it's likely they will -- the Tigers aren't deep at catcher in the minors and they still like what Rodriguez brings." Pudge says he plans on playing until at least 40. How long can he remain productive?

Re: Pudge Rodriguez contract

As a catcher I don't think he can go too much longer. He is going to have to work on his hitting a little, even though he had a good season last year at the plate, to become one of the top DH's. Vance Wilson is a pretty good backup but I think he is getting old too.

Pudge hitting is fine...Detroit is not a hitter's ball park though...

In the past it has been kind of shakey. Look at the playoffs, he wasn't very good. But during the season he was good. I'm just saying he has to maintain his hitting so it doesnt go downhill.
