David Robertson was one of the lovable veterans on the New York Yankees this year and fans are understandably upset to see him sign with the Philadelphia Phillies. He wears his pants high to showcase his navy blue socks and he prances off the field after wriggling his way out of an uncertain jam. What’s not to like?
Well, if you’re a coach or member of the support staff, a lot. George A. King III of the New York Post reported back in November that Robertson chaired a meeting that took away playoff shares from a number of coaches and support staff that traveled with the Yankees all season long.
