TAMPA, Fla. -- New York Yankees reliever David Robertson is not overanalyzing his role as Mariano Riveras replacement. Robertson is moving from an eighth-inning setup man to closer following Riveras retirement. "Its the same deal," Robertson said Tuesday after a pre-spring training workout at the Yankees minor league complex. "Throwing the eighth or ninth inning, youve still got to get three outs. Youve got to be effective. You cant give up a lead. Im not going to try to overthink the whole situation." Rivera has said that Robertson is the right man for the role. The former teammates spent time together last month at the New York baseball writers dinner. "First thing he said is, You scared?" Robertson recalled. "Im like, No. Its typical Mo. Hes all over my case already. I havent even thrown a pitch yet, and hes on me. He knows I can do it, and I think I know I can do it. Its just a matter of actually stepping out there and doing it." Given the chance to fill in as closer when Rivera injured a knee in 2012, Robertson strained muscle in his left ribcage. Rafael Soriano took over as closer for the rest of the season. Robertson went 5-1 with a 2.04 ERA in 70 games last year, striking out 77 in 66 1-3 innings. "Hes been in some huge situations here," Yankees pitching coach Larry Rothschild said. "Hes been around Mo. Hes in a good position to know what he has to do. Hes done everything that you could ask him to do to this point to become a closer. Now its just a matter of executing the pitches. Unless he gets overwhelmed by the situation, I dont anticipate major problems." Rothschild also said CC Sabathia has increased his throwing program during the off-season to build up arm strength and stamina. Coming off elbow surgery to remove a bone spur in October 2012, Sabathia was 14-13 with a 4.78 ERA last year. "The last couple winters, three or four really, he hasnt been able to do a lot with going back to his knee and then the elbow last winter," Rothschild said. "Hes been able to do a lot more this winter, so coming into spring training I think hell be in a little different place than he has been the last couple years." NOTES: Rothschild has had email communication with Japanese RHP Masahiro Tanaka. "Theres going to be adjustments hes going to have to make," Rothschild said. "Hes got the presence of mind to know what he needs to do to adjust when he gets here." ...

Shanahan, fired following a rocky fourth season with Washington, will interview Wednesday to be Clevelands offensive co-ordinator. Hes to meet with coach Mike Pettine, who has been assembling his staff since his hiring last week. The 34-year-old Shanahan and father Mike Shanahan, the Redskins former head coach, were let go by Washington on Dec. 30 after going 3-13. Shanahan has interviewed for at least two other co-ordinator positions this month, but was passed over by Baltimore and Miami. Also, the Browns intend to interview Raiders quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo on Thursday. Shanahan spent four seasons with Washington after two as Houstons offensive co-ordinator. He and his fathers relationship with Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III reportedly deteriorated during this past season, and at least partly contributed to the teams decision to move in another direction..dddddddddddd Shanahans offences finished in the top 10 in the NFL in yards four times. DeFilippo spent two seasons in Oakland — his second stint with the team — after working for the New York Jets. He was an assistant quarterback coach on the same staff as Pettine, who spent four seasons as Rex Ryans defensive co-ordinator before going to Buffalo last season. A native of Youngstown, Ohio, DeFilippo also coached at San Jose State. Pettine hired former Buffalo linebackers coach Jim ONeil as his defensive co-ordinator on Monday and named seven other assistants to his staff. An experienced offensive co-ordinator is crucial to Clevelands turnaround. The Browns, who had four offensive players in the Pro Bowl, are expected to select a quarterback early in Mays draft and the new co-ordinator will have a hand in his development. The Browns were interested in former Houston coach Gary Kubiak, but he was hired as Baltimores offensive co-ordinator on Monday. ___ AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org Cheap China Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China China NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
