The L.A. Times reports that while Sean Rodriguez, who is getting starts at second base for the Angels, isn't playing his natural position (shortstop), he's just happy to be playing in the majors. "Whatever keeps me up here," Rodriguez said with a smile. "He's becoming much more confident in his footwork around the bag, turning the double play. (And) he's got good range," Manager Mike Scioscia said of Rodriguez, who saved at least a couple of runs with spectacular plays Saturday and Sunday at Tampa Bay. "Defensively he's going to be an asset wherever he ends up making plays." (Updated 05/12/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Rodriguez singled, scored and struck out twice in three at-bats Sunday to bring his batting average up to .200 in eight games. Consider him someone worth having on your bench in deeper AL-only formats if you need help in the middle infield. He won't play every day, however, and will likely go back to the minors once Maicer Izturis comes off the DL. (Updated 05/12/2008).
