I would prefer Robertson over Soriano and I think Robertson will have a decent size leash. I've yet to see anything from Soriano in his time here to indicate he'll ever get back to the Braves/Rays days. That said, I agree with you. The less the Yankees tie themselves to roles, the easier it will be to manuever through games, but the Yankees (or Girardi) loves to have distinct roles. We'll see how it folds out.  @MHunterYGY

I completely agree with you, but I wonder if Girardi will see it the same way. If he blows a couple saves, do you think we could see Soriano be named closer instead? And then the question is, would that even be a bad thing? This would never happen of course, but I would love if the Yankees never named a closer and just put Robertson in when the game was really on the line. Soriano can get the save when we're up by 3, but I want Robertson in there if the based are loaded with a tie game in the 8th. Great post Chris.
