Interesting thing about Francisco Rodrigues. He's neither the best reliever this year (that would be Mariano Rivera—check the stats!) or the best pitcher (Cliff Lee who will most likely win the Cy Young Award unanimously). But MVP? Without a doubt that would be ol' Frankie. Which leads to an interesting turn of events. Could Francisco Rodriguez win the MVP but not the Cy Young Award? Hard to believe but this amateur sports scribe says Yes He Should. Breaking Bobby Thigpen's 18-year old record is an amazing achievement and his 60+ saves is a record that may never be broken. But he's been fortunate to be on a winning team with most of its wins coming on a small margin. Without Francisco we'd be watching the Rangers in the playoffs (and enduring more endless yarns about Josh Hamilton's drug abuse and recovery tales). But the Halos with Frankie? They might go all the way. That's an MVP. Cy Young? Give it to Cliff Lee—he's having the best year any starter has had since Dwight Gooden in 1986. And Mariano? Oh Lord, please give him a decent team next year
