gift_of_game Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 (edited) there's actually a good chance that Joba won't have the kind of value or impact most people expect---at least, for this season.word out of camp right now is that he's gonna be on a strict innings diet while working out of the bullpen. from there, he'll spend some time down midseason to prep him for a rotation spot in the 2nd half. of course, that's the plan and there's really no doubt that he's the young gun likely to get bumrushed to fill in if and when a spot opens up. and yeah, I'd agree, cheese, that comp hits it right on the head.

denimhead Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 they should put him on a diet .. PERIOD Quote Link to comment
cheeselogger Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 (edited) ^I really don't believe that the Yankees will press that panic button later and push Joba outside of their program too much. with the way they really didn't go all out going for Johan this offseason and then they risk one of their much valued investment would never look great for the "new" Yankee management. I still love Joba's mental strength that he's not rattled under the NYY microscope and that it would take only Mother Nature to stop him so far...

cheeselogger Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 on second thought, the Yankees have been well known to overuse pitchers though so that bullpen assignment might actually do more damage to Joba than good. just look at what it has done to Mo the past couple of seasons, he's obviously not the same Sandman Yankee fans have grown to love...
