Al Yellon created Bleed Cubbie Blue and has been its managing editor since 2005. He's also written three books about the Cubs, the latest is "Chicago Cubs Firsts."
The first thing you probably thought when you saw the headline here is, “Hey, Al doesn’t usually promote the Cubs signing older players.”
And you are correct. Usually, I don’t. There’s too much of a chance of regression.
I’m going to make an exception for David Robertson, who turns 40 in April.
Why?
Because Robertson has pitched very, very well since Tommy John surgery.
