08:16 AM ET 03.13 | While Yankees fans are likely pleased to have bullpen depth, it's also a reason the Rangers are following Joba Chamberlain. Don Welke, a senior special assistant to Texas general manager Jon Daniels, was at Steinbrenner Field on Monday specifically to watch Chamberlain pitch an inning against St. Louis. Chamberlain gave up a hit but not a run. Nor did he walk or strike out a batter. His fastball was clocked at 92-95 mph. In five spring outings, Chamberlain has thrown five innings, given up four hits, walked two and whiffed three. The only poor outing came March 1 against the Phillies at home when Chamberlain gave up two runs, two hits and walked two.

The guy did have great stuff when he first came up.
I don't think he had the personality to be a really good pitcher over the long haul, though, he's too much of an eff up.

I believe the problem was with his being dumb and a trampoline.

Joba's handlers did a good job covering up the fact that he pancaked 7 preschool kids during his trampoline incident.

They're getting to sleep in a little because they had an all night "God Of War" tournament.
Hard to see details in the little photo, is that Hedy Lamarr?
Or maybe Hedley?
