08:25 AM ET 02.14 | Brian Cashman may envision Joba Chamberlain in the Yankees bullpen, but he's offering no guarantees. "Anybody who has [minor league] options is not a lock for anything," Cashman said when asked by The Post if the 25-year-old was a roster-spot lock. "Any player with options has to re-earn everything." ... Today, what's left for Chamberlain amounts to crumbs. Rafael Soriano got three years and $35 million to set up Rivera. David Robertson has developed into a dependable and versatile righty reliever. Boone Logan and Pedro Feliciano are manager Joe Girardi's lefties in the bullpen. Chamberlain? His options are: middle relief, Triple A or a trade.

Yankees starters will only have to pitch for 6 innings. Joba in 7th, Soriano in the 8th and Mo in the ninth. What a way to win a championship

I'd bet that everybody concerned wishes they had just left Joba in the pen. Reminds me a bit of Goose Gossage's stint as a starter...why not see if this guy with the great arm can give us more innings? Looking back, you wonder WTF they were thinking.

Once in a blue moon maybe, but no way consistently. If their 3-5 starters can average 5 innings per start, I think the Yankees will sign for that.

I don't know how Joba's mother is supposed to run a successful meth dealing business if Joba's only getting a AAA salary. This is a tragedy.

he's been a bust from day 1---overpaid, overweight---not worth half his salary. The yankees need to dump him and get a couple of prospects.

Perfect example of too many cooks spoiling the broth.
He'd be better off playing somewhere else.
P.S.Cashman is an idiot
