I have stressed numerous times on this blog that Joba Chamberlain belongs in the rotation. However, my dad still thinks it is necessary to put Joba in the pen now in order to start grooming him for the eventual replacement of Mariano Rivera . As much as I hate the idea of Joba leaving ...

Does Joba have a shoulder problem?
slidingintohome.blogspot.com 6/1/2009 — Over on Baseball Prospectus John Perrotto has a weekend roundup column (membership required) and in this week's he mentions something troubling about Joba Chamberlain (hat-tip to River Ave. Blues ): The Yankees couldn’t move right-hander Joba Chamberlain from the rotation back to the bullpen if ...
What if Joba Chamberlain isn't a starter?
lennysyankees.com 7/11/2009 — I have always been a supporter of Joba Chamberlain in the rotation, but it's hard to hold my ground when he gets bombed every night.

To Start, or Not to Start…
yanksgoyard.com 7/7/2009 — Well I jinxed it. I stopped writing about the Yankees and they win 10 of 11. I come back and they lose a heartbreaker, 7-6. I’m a jinx.
What? She was named Jinx...it's a stretch, but don't complain
Actually, that’s not entirely accurate. The game was a heartbreaker only because the ...
Joba's Off Night
fackyouk.blogspot.com 5/27/2009 — "I could go on for days and days to tell you how bad I was. Plain and simple, I was terrible. There's no getting around it.
