Joba Rules

Joe Torre has indicated that discussions are underway to try to amend the so-called "Joba Rules". Currently the rookie right-hander must have 1 day off if he pitches 1 inning and 2 days off if he pitches 2 innings. He must also have 2 days off prior to pitching 2 innings. There are pitch count rules, etc.

But as Torre has pointed out, what's wrong with pitching Joba on back-to-back nights if he threw only 10 pitches the night before.
