He's a relief pitcher. No one cares about relief pitchers unless they are Mariano Rivera, throw 100+ MPH consistently or have a weird guy around called Machine.

It's totally messed up that AA doesn't have a card yet.

Look at David Robertson, he hasn't had a card since 2009.
http://espn.go.com/mlb/player/_/id/2917 ... -robertson
14.47k/9ip
1.15 ERA
He has allowed one run in June, one in May, and two in April.
Neither have allowed a HR on the season.
The most astonishing part....
Al Alburquerque - ERA+ 186
David Robertson - ERA+ 346
Mariano Rivera has the highest career ERA+ at 205. 346 is off the charts awesome!
Robertson walks (and inherits) a lot of runners, but he gets into K mode when they get on base. Does anyone remember Game 2 of the 2009 ALDS? The bases were loaded in the top of the 11th and with no outs and Robertson came in and shut the door allowing no runs to score.

I've got a few people at the office talking about him. We got a new client named Al Alverez (or something similar) and I said "Not quite as cool as Al Alburquerque." Nobody believed me that he was a real MLB player.
I was thinking about this recently when Mariano lost a game. His ERA is deceptively low, it should be much higher. Everybody has a bad night, it can really mess up your ERA. UNLESS of course, you only pitch in the last inning. Then when you let 1 or 2 runs score, the game ends. Who knows how many more runs he would have allowed?
It was this game that inspired these thoughts: http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes ... 5280.shtml May 28 @ Seattle
When the game ended, there was 1 out and the bases were loaded... if it was a different situation, let's say the top half of the 12th, or in the 8th inning... they would have brought in Chamberlain and all 3 of those runs would have scored.
