[edit] Biographical Information
Wandy Rodriguez used the name Eny Cabreja before visa problems in 2003 made it impossible to hide his true identity any longer.
He was the last player remaining on the Houston Astros roster from the 2005 World Series when he was claimed on waivers by the Colorado Rockies on August 23, 2011. He was having an excellent season for the Astros, with a 9-9 record and a 3.31 ERA, but was owed some $36 million in salary over the next few years, making Houston willing to part with their ace. The move was a bit surprising on the Rockies' part, as only three weeks earlier, they had been on the other end of a similar deal, sending their own ace, Ubaldo Jimenez, to the Cleveland Indians in return for prospects. However, the two teams were unable to work out a deal and the Astros withdrew their waivers on Rodriguez, leaving him an Astro for the time being.
