I somehow have concluded that the debate of Joba Chamberlain's role is ironically not about Joba Chamberlain. He is such a rare breed that he has the potential to be an ace of a rotation or a lockdown closer. That is why I ask, would you rather have on your team: Johan Santana or Mariano ...

Yankees at stalemate with six starters
lenNY's Yankees —
... Joba’s situation is similar to Hughes’ in that he is not going back to the minors. I guess there is more of an argument to put Chamberlain back as the setup man, but I have always been a firm believer in him being a starter.

That is why it is imperative he stays right where he is if the Yankees see Chamberlain as a starter in the long-run. ...
