David Robertson will replace Mariano Rivera as the closer for the New York Yankees, a job he is trying not to overthink.

Robertson was New York's eighth-inning setup man last season.

"It's the same deal," Robertson said. "Throwing the eighth or ninth inning, you've still got to get three outs. You've got to be effective. You can't give up a lead. I'm not going to try to overthink the whole situation."
