It's been talked about and planned that Joba Chamberlain will be part of the Yankees starting rotation next year. I think that's crazy! He's done such a great job this year at the setup role and was the only reliable bullpen player other than Mariano Rivera. It makes more sense to keep him as the setup man. The Chamberlain taking the 8th inning and Rivera the 9th, the Yankees only have to play 7 innings of baseball. They just need to find a 7th inning guy so they can have the Quantrill-Gordon-Rivera combo of a few years ago. Assuming the team stays intact, they should look to get some starting pitching that can rotate with Wang and Pettitte. Leave Chamberlain where he is. He's nearly perfect there!
