Well

Signing the man who served as Queen Elizabeth’s physician in the late 16th century will certainly fill that “veteran presence” role on the team.

Is it weird

that everytime I see the name “Rodrigo”, I automatically think of El Cid?

Nah, it makes sense

It’d be weirder if everytime you saw the name “Rodrigo”, you automatically thought of something completely unrelated, like the Green Lantern.

Unfortunately, thanks to this remark

I will now automatically think of the Green Lantern, every time Rodrigo pitches.
