If you look at his value as a player pre 2015 injury and post the injury Rodriguez is certainly a player in decline - even at a relatively young age.
Then you look at how small he is and he's going to struggle in a physical league unless he can compensate with agility / speed - which he appears to have lost. since 2015.
