Who needs Santana?

... to the site of his broken finger he suffered early last season. In other news... We heard on SportsCenter last night that Mariano (who is 22-for-22 in save opportunities this season) has saved 54 of Pettitte's 210 career victories. That means Pettitte has owed Mo a small debt of thanks after 26% of his career's wins. Unbelievable. We can't wait to see David Robertson in action, though we wish the comparisons to Joba would stop. We thought we'd see him this season, but this is a lot sooner than we (or even Robertson) thought. ...

The Cano Conundrum Year #2…

Posted 6/28/2008 on The 3rd String Safety

- The article that got Jason in trouble last year returns because Robinson Cano seems destined to make Jason look like an idiot one more time. Robby is beginning his usual summer revival by hitting .420 over his last seven games. He also has has nine RBIs in that span. Can I explain why this guy simply can’t hit during the first half, and then hits in bunches during the second? Nope. ...

David Robertson, Kei Igawa and Oneli Perez Shuffled

Peter Abraham reports that Yankees prospect David Robertson is now with the big league club. The move was made before today's game. Kei Igawa was sent back down and Oneli Perez was DFAed.

Igawa sent back

That was quick . With David Robertson 's call-up, Kei Igawa was optioned back to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Igawa pitched one inning last night and gave up two hits. To make room for Robertson on the 40-man roster, the Yankees designated Oneli Perez for assignment. I would have designated LaTroy Hawkins for assignment. But that's just me.

David Robertson With Yanks Now

Posted 6/28/2008 on WasWatching.com

WFAN is reporting that the Yankees have called up David Robertson . No word on who’s leaving the big league roster to make room for him. Could be Igawa? Then again, it could be Hawkins? WFAN also mentioned that Girardi said surgery could be an option for Godzilla. That would be a bummer.

Finally!

The Yankees are finally going to try someone new in the pen, David Robertson. Just heard it on WFAN, though they don't know who is getting sent down. 33 innings, 48 K's and 16 walks at AAA this year with 0 HR's allowed. The guy has frequently been mentioned as a possible 8th inning solution and while I don't think the Yankees will try him out there right away, it's nice to ...

Robertson Called Up

Posted 6/28/2008 on The Bronx Block

According to Chad Jennings , David Robertson has been called up to the Yankees in time for this afternoon’s game. He’s not sure who’s being sent down. No doubt Robertson earned the opportunity. He has a 1.64 ERA in Triple-A, with 48 strikeouts in 33 innings. His ERA for the past month 1.06. “I’m just waiting for my time,” he said earlier this week. “If ...

This Week’s David Robertson Report

Posted 6/23/2008 on WasWatching.com

Last week it was the Post singing the praises for David Robertson. This week it’s the Daily News . Via Mark Feinsand : Robertson, a 5-11 righthander, was taken in the 17th round of the 2006 draft after serving as the closer at the University of Alabama. The Yankees thought of him as a draft-and-follow player, but after an impressive summer in the Cape Cod League in which he developed ...
