Do you agree with Jorge Posada's Joba opinion?
Jorge Posada, in a taping for YES Network's Centerstage yesterday, said he believes Joba Chamberlain should remain in the bullpen because he believes the righthander will break down if asked to throw 200 innings. He called the rotator cuff tendinitis that sidelined a "sign."
I'm wondering, where does everyone stand right now on Chamberlain's role? Is the consensus that he belongs in the rotation? Or does anyone believe that he is best suited for the bullpen?
* To steal a page from Neil Best's beat, I had SNY's sports wrap-up show on my television last night as background noise. When they got to the Chamberlain story, they referred to the comments Posada made as coming from "another network." Guess they didn't want to mention YES. Funny.

He's a starter. According to Joba, last season was the first time in his career that he was every asked to relieve. He's been a starter his entire life.
Don't burn him out. Let him grow into the 200 innings, but don't make him a reliever. He has shown that he has too a good stuff to be wasted in the 8th inning.
