Newsday: David Robertson won’t rest on his laurels
With David Robertson coming off a season that ranks among the best any Yankees reliever has ever had, you’d think job security would be the last thing driving him this offseason.
Not so.
“It’s baseball. There’s always someone else who wants to come up and play,” Robertson said Thursday night at the Chateau Briand in Carle Place, where he and his wife, Erin, were honored at Winning Beyond Winning’s annual Gil Hodges Legacy Dinner.
“It’s the big leagues, it’s the New York Yankees. I don’t want to get beat and not do well because I’m not prepared. I’m going to train as hard as I can. I’m going to hold my ground and try to keep my spot.”
Somewhat Interesting Fact of the Day: Robertson’s 40.7% K-rate against lefties last season was third best among all relievers, behind only Jonny Venters and Craig Kimbrel.
