David Robertson: Part 3

If you read my article the other day about David Robertson (Read THE SHOWCASE FOR DAVID ROBERTSON IS ON!), you know that I love and respect the man. This family will ever be in my top 10 because of the mere fact that years ago, they help take a no name blog in named Bleeding Yankee Blue and decided to throw on our shirt. 

We raised money for High Socks for Hope, and while it wasn’t alot, it was alot for the small audience we had. And so, I’ll forever appreciate David and Erin.

Now comes word that the Yankees may like him too… because they know what he has, knows what he’s capable of… and is reliable on the bump.  Empire Sports Media writes:

“The Yankees have been keeping tabs on one former face, David Robertson. According to John Heyman, Robertson is on the comeback trail and pitched at the University of Alabama in front of multiple teams, including the Bombers. He touched 91 mph with his fastball and utilized his illustrious curveball.

Robertson has only pitched 6.2 innings over the past two years, with his last large sample size coming with the Yankees in 2018. During that season, he recorded a 3.23 ERA and 11.76 strikeouts per nine over 69.2 innings. He’s always been a double-digit strikeout per nine pitcher, and given he hasn’t played much over the past few years, he would be extremely cost-efficient.”

Hey… you know what I say? Let’s do it.
