Things I like and hate about Joba — yankeesdaily.com
Joba Chamberlain
I like the fact that Joba is young and he’s a prospect from our farm system. I like his 100 mph heater and being able to brag to fans of other teams, “Yeah, Joba throws 100 mph, what does your guy have?” I like the fact that his body type resembles Babe Ruth almost like a big papa bear fatherly type. He has a cool personality as well. He seems easy to talk to and he’s ...

Yankees Ruin Chamberlain for Next Year Too — The Slanch Report
The Yankees are seemingly intent on making Joba Chamberlain an ineffective pitcher for the near future. That’s because after his latest return from the DL, Joba is headed to the bullpen for the remainder of the season. And, unless something drastic happens, he is unlikely to pitch much more than 100 innings this year, which would mean the process of making him a starter would be ...
Joba to face innings limit next year — River Avenue Blues
No surprise here, but Joba Chamberlain will face an innings limit next year . This year, Chamberlain was supposed to reach 150 innings, but his August injury will leave him about 40-50 innings short. He’ll probably face the same cap next year. Meanwhile, don’t impersonate Major League pitchers .

The Absurdity of the “Joba Rules” — Mike Silva's New York Baseball Digest
Anthony Rieber of Newsday does a great job of forshadowing the possibility that Joba Chamberlain will not start 2009 in the Yankees starting rotation.
It appears that Chamberlain has not met his innings limit which means that the threshold for 2009 will be lower then expected. Cashman is quoted in the article as saying “He had an innings limit this year that he didn’t meet. ...

Chamberlain, who was activated from the disabled list on Tuesday as a reliever, pitched an inning and a third in the Yankees’ 7-2 victory against Tampa Bay.

Joba Chamberlain Returns to the Bullpen — FanHouse
After weeks of speculation , the Yankees made it official: Joba Chamberlain is returning to the bullpen. No, the team's long-term expectations for Joba haven't changed -- if anything, it's simply a matter of logistics. With only a few weeks left in the season, Joba would only be able to make a couple of starts (if that) were he to take the time needed to regain the stamina needed to return ...
Newsday - O’Brien: Chamberlain back today, will work out of bullpen — Replacement Level Yankees Weblog
DETROIT - Joba Chamberlain will be back on the Yankees’ active roster today, and back in their bullpen.
Why? Shouldn’t the goal be to get his innings up so he can start next year? All this does is give the mouth-breathers who want Joba to stay in the pen more fuel for their insipid fires. So what if he can only pitch two or three innings as a starter right now? That’s ...
Joba a reliever until at least ‘09 — River Avenue Blues

I’m reading between the lines a bit, and I don’t like what I’m seeing at all. Joba should start. One injury shouldn’t be the bellweather for ...

Will The "Joba Rules" Apply Next Year? — Beyond the Box Score
You've probably heard of the Joba Rules. Concocted by the Yankees and proliferated by the media, the "Joba Rules" simply were to be very careful with Joba Chamberlain. The Yankees used their young ace-in-the-making very conservatively this season, starting him in the bullpen (and not letting him pitch on back to back days), and then slowly transitioning him into the rotation. It worked ...
