Assuming the Texas Rangers plan to stay in the playoff hunt to the bitter end, they'll need bullpen help to do it. Until Sunday, David Robertson was just sitting out there, offering up said bullpen help for anyone willing to pay. So why didn't Chris Young go after a player that seemed like a no-brainer just a few weeks ago? There are some very good reasons.
Robertson has sat out most of the season, apparently just watching his value to contenders increase by the minute. On Saturday, he threw for those contenders, and on Sunday, he signed with the Philadelphia Phillies.
