Joba likely to start '09 in bullpen
It is all about the math with Joba Chamberlain, and the math does not add up for him to open next season in the Yankees' starting rotation. Chamberlain is likely to finish this season with only 100 innings or so, and team officials said they believed it would be too risky for him to double that total in 2009. That means Chamberlain will probably start next season in the bullpen again.

This is getting ridiculous.....the hourly Joba updates are starting to contradict themselves. By 2:00pm he may be starting 2009 at shortstop.

Let's see I said all along he was a relief pitcher.. they realized having him helthy long term is better than having him a starter and on the DL most of the time.. took awhile but maybe they got it... Joba is a solid pitcher but hes arm is not built for long seasons as a starter.

Oh I can see them screwing up this kid too. They are going to buy up every pitcher available in the off season they don't need the kid in the rotation
