But with the Yanks recently losing Joba Chamberlain for a few weeks, they might be a bit more desperate. Seattle certainly should be, since we're stuck with him if we can't pawn him off on some poor and desperate saps. Let's hope passing him through waivers is a sign of back-office movement and that someday soon we'll be able to say goodbye to one of the last of the Bavasi Bunch.
Joba Chamberlain

n't look even like the average innings-eater he's always been.

I am glad it was July 11th. Having that free 7.11 oz slurpee was a blessing in the summer heat. Lets go over what has happened on 7/11.
Football: Brett Favre wants his release. This is an interesting story. I never put pen to paper on this, but I always maintained (as did Tony from PTI) that Favre would be back for the season. Favre wants to play, but the Packers want to move on. What to do, what to do? If I am Favre, the first teams I look at are Minnesota and Baltimore.

leaves them with a rotation of Andy Pettitte, Mike Mussina, Darrell Rasner, and a still-developing Joba Chamberlain, with Dan Giese expected to step into the fifth starter role. That’s a shallow rotation, weighted at the older and younger ends like a barbell. Hurry up, C.C. Sabathia.

iving the lie to my earlier contention that he's not HOF-worthy), a not-quite-ready-for-prime-time Joba Chamberlain (still being stretched out as a starter) and Darrell Rasner, filling in for an injured (and struggling) Ian Kennedy.

away so much of their farm talent through the years that only "can't-miss" prospects like Joba Chamberlain, Phil Hughes and Ian Kennedy (two-thirds of whom are struggling or injured) still remain. There are more prospects behind them, but they're a year or two away, at least, and the Yanks must clear room for them by shedding some of their aging vets.

prospects in any trade package for Santana and will instead rely heavily upon rookies Phil Hughes, Joba Chamberlain and Ian Kennedy this season. While all seem very promising prospects, the Yankees will still have to endure that rough patches that young pitchers are prone to, as well as carefully monitoring the innings each will be allowed to work this season. Chamberlain, who is on the most limited number of innings, will actually start the season in the bullpen, and could possibly join the rotation after the All-Star break. Though Hughes and Kennedy will be in the starting rotation, their innings are also limited and cannot be expected to work too deep into games, even when they are pitching well, just so that they can be stretched over the course of the season.
