"When you throw that hard and you do occasionally let one go, they’re not comfortable in there. Nobody’s comfortable in there. Ask the second baseman for the Braves how he feels about him. He’s a good weapon."
(Davey Johnson on SMH-Rod, via Nationals Journal, 3/29/2013)
Henry Rodriguez makes the Nats; 25 man roster set.
Oh sure, the fact that Henry is out of options helped. But sources tell us the naked pics Henry has of Davey helped, too.
Fear not, Nats fans: Give it a couple of SMH-Rod appearances and they'll invent a phantom injury to land him on the DL for a while...

That 2nd pitch curveball that buckled Nunez showed how uncomfortable batters are in there. He's got amazing talent but not control/consistency, and when he is on, he is filthy! Dunno if there is a place for him in this team if he doesnt shape up. Hopefully someone would trade for him... Astros could weather his ups and down to have his ups...

We were surprised to see him come running out of the bullpen yesterday and there was one pitch (see above) that made the whole crowd go "Oh!" in tones of concern. When he's good, he's very good. When he's bad, he's awful.

Henry can throw, but sure can't pitch. Trade him and get something. Keep him and get nothing but heartbreak.
