Joba Chamberlain will get his 3 innings, if he's lucky, tonight when he faces the Tampa Bay Rays in 10-15 minutes.
It's aggravating watching this mishandling of a fantastic talent. This falls on the shoulders of Brian Cashman and Nardi Contreras, the masterminds behind the Joba Rules.
As I've stated before I have no issue with protecting Joba's arm, but the manner in which it's done doesn't make sense. There's no way Joba will have an effective start (as we have also stated before, Joba would likely only get one start in a seven game series and none in the division series) in the playoffs if he's pitching just a smattering of innings here and there.
There's absolutely no way that Joba can gain any confidence in this type of arrangement. He should be pitching out of the pen and go back to the rotation next spring. <-- Period
