New York Yankees co-chairman Hank Steinbrenner wants setup man Job Chamberlain to be in the starting rotation, like, yesterday.
“I want him as a starter and so does everyone else, including him, and that is what we are working toward and we need him there now,” Steinbrenner said Sunday by telephone. “There is no question about it, you don’t have a guy with a 100-mile-per-hour fastball and keep him as a setup guy. You just don’t do that. You have to be an idiot to do that.”
This is good news for Joba fantasy owners. If the new boss wants to see Chamberlain out there every five days, more than likely the Yankees’ coaching staff is going to oblige. This kid has nasty stuff and everyone is waiting on pins and needles to see what he can do as a starter.
