    The Yankees need someone that can get outs in their rotation. Why not swap Chamberlain and Kennedy, at least for a while?

    I completely agree with you catman, and with hank, but i would put hughes in the minors or the pen right now, not kennedy. ian's been a bit more solid than phil. but i think the rotation needs some sort of consistency, and joba can provide that

    This is just a pipe dream, how do you expect Joba to instantly move from the setup man to the rotation... Shut your mouth Hank.
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    I agree 100% browntown. There is no way of telling Joba can do better than Hughes in the rotation but you do know he is one of the best setup men in the game. Keep him where he is. Hank and everyone else that matters knew the rotation was going to struggle so this is nothing new.

    Can Joba start? I am sure he can start. But you can't just throw someone from the role of setup man to starter.

    I know that his dad did a lot of his talking through the media, but everyone respected his dad. I don't think many people have a lot of respect for Hank, and the little they might have is diminishing quickly.

    He reminds me of a kid with a rich dad, and dad just handed him the keys to a brand new Corvette. Normally, the kid wrecks the Vette.

    Pronk, Joba was a starter his entire college career I believe.

    because if you can get 6 or 7 sicknasty innings from joba instead of 1 or 2, i'd way rather have that.

    There is no guarantee he can give 6 or 7 innings of nasty or even ordinary stuff. You do know for a fact he can set the table for MO. Go with the sure thing.

    I'm sure he can...eventually. That's the key thing. How exactly does Hank propose putting him in the rotation right now? Hank thinks he can be patient and impatient at the same time

    Yeah eventually but you can't go all spring preparing to be a reliever then be thrown to the wolves.

    I hope he does start, I just picked him up on my Fantasy team.

    I have read what you guys think about what his performance would be like if he starts. But do you guys actually think this will happen?

    He should help your fantasy team even if he is the set-up man or Starter. He is quality.
