It’s All About Joba

Posted by M. Patel under Players 

Joba ChamberlainA little under four hours. That is how much time is left until Joba Chamberlain makes his first major league start! Expectations are high as fans all around the Yankee universe anticipate the event. It will certainly be one for the ages, as Chamberlain is expected to become a great starter. We must still remember that he is still being built-up to the position though, still having the 65-70 pitch limit. Success may not come immediately, as Joba will have to get situated with his new role. but looking at the way Joba moved into the majors, it certainly seems plausible. Hank Steinbrenner is out and about speaking of the young phenom once more and again saying that he thinks Joba should’ve started the year in the rotation. He doesn’t understand the importance of pitch counts yet (which has caused some minor uproar), but his intentions are good. Here is a quotation from the man himself:

“This is about what Joba can do for us over the next 10 years. That’s what we’re going to look at in a lot of way, with the new dynasty, hopefully, we can build.”

It sure is about the future. Let’s watch and see as Joba plays in what will hopefully be the start of a long and illustrious career as start for the New York Yankees.
