The Toronto Blue Jays have traded right handed relief pitcher Nick Robertson of Roanoke, Virginia to the Houston Astros for minor league right handed pitcher Edinson Batista of Santiago, Dominican Republic. In an interesting note, Nick Robertson, the baseball player, should not be confused with Nick Robertson, the hockey player, who ironically is an American left winger with Toronto’s National Hockey League team, the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Nick Robertson, the hockey player, is from Pasadena, California, and is best known as being the brother of Dallas Stars superstar Jason Robertson. On a side note, I once picked up Nick Robertson in a prestigious hockey pool I am in, thinking I was picking up Jason Robertson. (Information director in the pool only stated Robertson was available). As for Nick Robertson, he should not be considered in any hockey pools or baseball pools at this time. Guess what? I am now the co-information director for the hockey pool.
