If he can rein in his command, then I think he could definitely serve as next year's setup man. I think the Yankees will opt for internal bullpen fixes rather than pursuing free agents in the winter and with Hughes starting next year, that setup man role will likely be Robertson's to lose.

Wow. Do you think he is capable of being as effective as Phil Hughes has been for the Yanks this season? You mention the K/BB ratio, which is great. But he definitely still has some kinks to work out as a pitcher before becoming a pitcher like Mariano Rivera (in 1996), Tom Gordon (2004-05) and now Hughes in '09. If he has a really good postseason, I would say there is a slight chance he would be the setup man for 2010. It's too early to tell. You say he might be the setup man for 2010? Wow.
