Sean Rodriguez was a bona fide utility player in every sense of the word.  He suited up at Second, Third, Short, First, and in the Outfield, and he could be plugged in anywhere to suit the defensive needs of the Rays.  In his first season in Tampa, he was fifth in the American League in Defensive bWAR (2.3).  He would play with the Rays until he was traded to the Pirates after the 2014 season.  Rodriguez never had 400 At Bats in a season with Tampa, but his overall value with his glove made him a player that Tampa wanted to keep for five years.

Rodriguez was a light hitter (.228/.300/.378), but his defensive versatility would keep him employed. He would have 331 Hits for Tampa.
