I'm really excited to see this kid pitch. Hopefully the injury bug doesn't get ahold of him.Yankees fans are dying to see Joba Chamberlain pitch, but Joe Torre would simply like to meet the young man first.
He'll get that chance today.
After yesterday's game, Mike Myers was designated for assignment and did not make the trip to Toronto. Chamberlain will be there and will be activated in time for this afternoon's game.
"I don't even know what the kid looks like," Torre said after repeated questions about the ballyhooed 21-year-old right-handed prospect. "I've seen him on television.
"Just to hear all the things I've heard about him, yeah, I am curious. I don't know when that (call-up) is gonna happen, but I am curious."
It's almost comical how well the 6-foot-2, 230-pounder is pitching.
