Great hire... Two most professionally run organizations are the cards and Giants. Why not dip into their scouting department and hire someone instead of a hitting instructor.

We had a good party. The crowd was smaller than expected but the people that mattered showed up. Fun was had by all. Homemade lasagna from scratch was ate by all... and we have two full pans in the fridge if anyone wants some.

That's my biggest concern.

Sixty-nine relievers who threw at least 50 innings had a lower ERA in 2014. He saved 39 games in 44 opportunities. That's a save percentage of 88.6. Sounds good, but again, it's nothing special; 13 closers with at least 20 opportunities had a higher percentage in 2014. Robertson also allowed seven home runs in 2014, six to right-handed batters. Whoever signs him has to hope that number was either an aberration or Yankee Stadium inflation. <br /><br />Yes, there has been consistency in his performances over the past four seasons. But relievers tend to burn out quickly. Do you want to gamble $40 million that Robertson will remain healthy and productive in a role that's fairly easy to fill? I think the guy walks too many batters with counts at 0-2 1-2 and going full counts or walking a hitter. Not a fan of the guy and would be willing to drive him to the airport to Houston or any other place but NYKen Hanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08248552174229519871noreply@blogger.com
