Joba Rules 2.0 (exclamation point)
Joba Chamberlain is to start the 2008 season in the bullpen (exclamation point).
Aha, I called it!
Here are the details from the Globe:
From the New York Post: "Joba Chamberlain will prepare during spring training as a starter, but will begin the season in the Yankee bullpen barring injury to any of the other five main rotation members, team officials confirmed to The Post.
It had been speculated throughout the offseason that Chamberlain could open in the 'pen as a way to restrain his innings from going beyond the approximately 140 the organization wants to limit him to in 2008."
Ooh, new Joba Rules (exclamation point). Big surprise there. I still think he's a setup man or a closer, not a starter. But since I don't get along with the Yankees, they can convert him to a starter all they want. I won't mind.
Longer post to come later, after I navigate the icy sidewalks (freezing rain!) and go to class.
(Also, this little piece on Josh is a bit...awkward. It's just a bad photograph, don't worry.)
