09/22: Quick Hits: Robertson Update, Pettitte's Incentives, Nady the Supporter and the Power of Mo
Posted by: Patrick
Sponsored by Peter Abraham, here's some news that caught in interest:
Robertson on the Road: David Robertson had a bullpen session earlier today and it's sounding good. He hopes he'll need just one more such session before he's able to return.
Pettitte Earning Incentives: Abraham calculates that Pettitte will finish the season with a total salary of $10.5 million when all the incentives are counted. The deal worked out well for all sides, I'd say.
Nady Back: Xavier Nady is back with the club and will travel with the team for the rest of the season. Nady, out for the season after Tommy John surgery, will mainly be a source of moral support.
The Power of Mo: Finally, I couldn't let this joke pass, because it made me laugh. Panama President Ricardo Martinelli will be throwing out the first pitch for the September 25th game against the Red Sox. Abraham says: "If you’re the president of Panama, one would assume that staying on the good side of Mariano Rivera is key to retaining power. One word from the Sandman and you’re out." Ha.
