Robertson, Granderson and Girardi making appearances
Just a few things to put on your radar in case you’re able to attend…
• Dave Robertson is making an appearance on Sunday at something called The Man Show in Poughkeepsie, NY. The event is being held at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center, and Robertson will be there from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. signing autographs.
• Curtis Granderson is making an appearance Monday at the annual Hot Stove Cool Music Roundtable at Fenway Park’s State Street Pavilion. Hosted by Theo Epstein and Peter Gammons, the discussion will center on the dynamics of small and big market baseball, with Ben Cherington, Bobby Valentine, Neal Huntington and others taking part. The event begins at 6 p.m. Tickets are on sale at FoundationToBeNamedLater.org.
• Joe Girardi is making an appearance Sunday at the at the Harrison Public Library from noon to 1 p.m. I mentioned the fundraiser on the blog yesterday, but figured I’d mention it again with the Robertson and Granderson appearances.



On the Granderson appearance. This will be the Red Sox approach.
Boston=Small Market
NYC=Large Market
And Joba Chamberlain will be at the Cerebral Palsy Telethon in Albany on Sunday.
Girardi will need police protection. Rich In NY and his Cub Scouts are on the loose and foaming at the mouth.

Is somebody keeping track of Gillooley and Eckhardt? They’re looking for work and and have contacted John Henry Harding.
I just realized something, Ellsbury becomes a free agent in 2014, and that’s also when Granderson becomes a free agent…

RAB reporting the Yanks are interested in Concepcion. Haven’t heard much about him, and I now get the sense that the Yankees are going to remain passive on these higher profile international free agents.
