    I was thinking he'd retire this year, but it may be coming sooner than planned!

    Well, his ACL died, as did Derrick Rose's and Iman Shumpert's.

    The problem is not the problem. The problem is your attitude about the problem. Do you understand?

    Robertson has a below 1 ERA and ridiculous strikeout numbers. The successor (though obviously not the best closer ever i.e. Rivera) is already in place.

    P.S. They better sign him to a longterm deal and soon

    The latest is they'll hand the job to Soriano, who was a closer and doesn't much like the setup roll.


    Gives Robertson time to develop and then if Soriano blows, they have an alternative.

    I am far from a Yakees fan, but Rivera is/was a solid closer. Plus, he seems pretty humble.

    He does a lot of public service stuff too.


    Overall, a pretty nice guy who just happens to be the best closer ever.
