David Robertson is a fantastic closer

Probably our best hope is to keep him, hope he has a good first half and move asap. The financial commitment of the acquiring team would be lessened and the return may actually better than this winter where his value is low.

 

Well, this best case scenario sucks

Robertson is tied with the Oakland closer for most blown saves in MLB...

I'm not defending him, but do you think he's the kind of guy who doesn't have that mental edge when his team is out of it? He seemed to be perfect early in the season when the Sox were rolling to 23-10. Then after the implosion game he turned to s*** like the rest of the guys.

Greg, how do you think opposing GM's would answer that level of spin?

 

Response to Hahn:

 

Well, he's no longer around the winning culture of the Yankees, so it's 100% understandable why he's so miserable and not performing well. Dysfunctional situations can screw with any player's head. Not to mention Ventura just ran him into the ground. So, I will just overlook those games against the Rangers and Royals when the White Sox had a much better record than every AL East team. Done. And you can even have some prospects to boot, because we know David's real intrinsic value on a championship team.
