D-Rob Finds His Kryptonite

Dave Robertson gets righties out and he gets lefties out.  Power hitters don't bother him and neither do slap hitters.  He can come in to start an inning and plow 1-2-3 through the heart of another team's order or he can enter mid-inning with the bases loaded and nobody out and not even break a sweat as he works out of the jam without allowing a run.  Hitters are pretty much no match for The Fireman.

Cardboard boxes, on the other hand, are a different story.  Especially those sonofabitch empty ones.

Thanks to them, D-Rob could be on the shelf for some time after his MRI turned up enough to be a "cause for concern" according to Joe Girardi.  Robertson said he doesn't expect to miss a lot of time, but the Yankees have scheduled a CT scan and a weight-bearing X-ray as a follow up, and there's already talk of him not being available for Opening Day.

Sounds like Spring Training just became more important for every reliever in camp.
