Robertson needs to be more economical with his pitch count, and needs to walk less batters.

If he gets those two things clamped down, he'll be our closer for many years to come.

I think Robertson is going to be more than fine. Just know that he isn't going to be Mariano and you will be ok with him. Is he going to blow 2 out of 10 saves? Probably. Its something new for yankee fans, but welcome to what its like to be a fan of any other team. Insecurity at closer is just something that you have to get used too.

So do I

It's going to be tough for the younger guys who don't remember what it was like before Mo and the almost always save at the end of every game.

I'm not one of those younger guys, so I do remember what it's like not having him there.
