Pudge to be in reserve role for rest of season | nationals.com: News
Rodriguez, who is a free agent after the season, said he would like to play four more years in the big leagues. He is 158 hits from 3,000.
Pudge is already a HOFer so he really doesn't need the 3,000 hits to get him in. He's 39 years old and has a terrible .212/.273/.322 slash line for the season. He hasn't posted an OBP over .300 since 2008. The writing's on the wall but apparently it isn't written in Spanish.
