Anyone want to guess, without looking it up, who the oldest current player in the Majors is? When I saw this the other night, I was shocked. Never would have guessed this guy. I had tried to find players active in 2000. None. Baseball reference wouldn't show me the 3 guys from 2001. 2001 was the rookie year of both Albert Pujols and Ichiro Suzuki.

Fernando Rodney is now the oldest active player in baseball, assuming Colon still is unsigned.
Like I said before, I never would have guessed Rodney. I can't believe he's lasted this long in the majors. He has broken hearts for many years, for many teams.

I did not notice him til he was with the Rays, which is like early this decade.

Yeah, with the righty starting, they're sitting Alonso, although the Mets seem intent on giving everyone regular reps anyway so I'm not surprised. Dom Smith (who had a great spring and looks to have found his legs a bit) has found his way into every game despite Alonso getting starts and the team seems to have this energy to it that we haven't seen in a while. Only 4 games in, but still, it's a refreshing style of play that is exciting to watch. Stringing hits together, not relying on the HR, aggressive base running, spraying the ball, fun times.

Sabathia was 17-5 in 2001, but has yet to play this year.

Streaming the Red Sox ring ceremony right now, and I'm not sure why they televise this stuff.
