Joba a reliever until at least ’09

Mark Feinsand has the news. Joba Chamberlain will spend the rest of 2008 pitching out of the bullpen, and while the Yanks still consider him a starter, Brian Cashman and Joe Girardi are clearly hedging their bets on this one. I’m reading between the lines a bit, and I don’t like what I’m seeing at all. Joba should start. One injury shouldn’t be the bellweather for that decision.
