CPBL: Lions sign Jeriome Robertson
Former Major Leaguer Jeriome Robertson has been signed by the President Lions and assigned to their farm club to get adjusted to baseball in Taiwan before a callup. The 29 year old right handed pitcher was 1-6 with a 7.68 ERA in 11 games this season with the Norfolk Tides of the Triple-A International League.

In order to make room for Robertson outfielder Jayson Bass has been released. He was hitting .250 with one home run and three RBIs in eight games. Meanwhile Eric Cyr has pitched really well for the Leos this year. A member of Canada's World Baseball Classic team, Cyr is 9-4 with a 2.39 ERA in 16 starts.

Robertson is pretty interesting, seeing as he had 15 wins in 2003 with the Astros.

Jeriome Robertson is not a right hander. He is left handed. Since that 2003 season with Houston, he has been absolutely awful and has only been able to get jobs in AAA because he is left handed. If he were right handed he would be driving a truck by now.

I would say that Jeriome is doing a great job in Taiwan considering his ERA is around 1.00 right now. He has given up no runs in 24 innings, and only 5 hits. I would find that hard to top, no matter what league you were in.

Jeriome Robertson's career with the Astros was ruined by Jimmy Williams playing his head games. Remember, Jeriome was a rookie when he won 15 games and the year before was the AAA Pacific Coast League picture of the year. Shame on Jimmy Williams. I hope he is out of baseball altogether.
