Can you hear the drums, Fernando?

I can honestly say I'm not sure why everyone is so stuck on Fernando Rodney. And by everyone, I mean the management, front office, and coaching staff of the Tigers. Look, I understand that he was really good in 2005-2006. Ok, Fine. I understand that we went to the World Series in 2006 because we had great pitching and Rodney was a big part of that. But it seems like every time I look at the Tigers homepage, there's a story about how RODNEY WILL BE FINE RODNEY IS OUR BUDDY HE'S A BIG LEAGUE PITCHER AND HE'S A VITAL PART OF OUR CLUB. Good lord, you'd think he was Sandy Koufax. I believe there's been at least five articles written about Rodney. "Rodney's role key to Tigers' success." "Rodney vital to Tigers' hopes." They inked him right up but are arguing money with Verlander. Even after they signed Lyon, Leyland was all too quick to assure us that no one's discarding Rodney.

I don't mean to be disrespectful, but why not?

Maybe someone can enlighten me on this.
