Hopefully, todays performance (final regular season game) will help sway Yankee management to return Joba to the 'pen, next season. His 'starters' role, or fling, aside Chamberlain demonstrated WHY he needs to be moved.
His 'relief' role saw him throw only 7-pitches over one inning, and his pitches were clocked at 94-95 MPH. This was letting management know what his future pitching role should be. The argument will continue over the winter, into spring training.
On another note: A-Rod hammered out 2-hr's and 7-RBI's to reach a 30/100 season..again. He also tied Maguire for the 8th all-time position on the MLB HR list, and a nice tune-up for the post-season.
