　　Chamberlain Says Prospect of Starting or Pitching Relief is ‘Win-Win’
　　
　　Pitcher Joba Chamberlain is reaping the rewards of his sensational first
　　season with the Yankees. He is doing nothing, or almost nothing.

　　“When the season ended, I took some time off,” he said yesterday in an
　　appearance at the Modell’s sporting goods store in Times Square. “You’ve
　　got to get your mind right. You evaluate what has happened and what your
　　plan is for next year.”

　　The Yankees’ plan is to make Chamberlain a starter. Last season, he was
　　a setup man for the team’s closer, Mariano Rivera.

　　Do you want to start this year? he was asked.

　　“That’s a tough question,” he said. “It’s kind of a win-win situation
　　for me.”

　　The question came from one of the 12 high school and grade school students
　　honored by the Police Athletic League for their scholastic achievements.
　　Chamberlain gave them all autographed baseballs.

　　Chamberlain, 22, started the season in Class A and ended it with the
　　Yankees. With a fastball that flirted with 100 miles an hour, he created
　　a glowing late-season record: 19 games, 24 innings, 12 hits, 34 strikeouts,
　　6 walks, a 2-0 record, 1 save and an earned run average of 0.38.

　　All along, the Yankees’ plan was to make him a starter. His plan for next
　　year? “Show up for spring training,” he said. He did not seem concerned
　　about becoming a starter.

　　“Whether I pitch 200 innings or 90, I think the jobs are equal,”
　　Chamberlain said. “I’m starting another life. I hope I can help them any
　　way. I talked to Mariano the other day. He said it’s easier for a starter
　　to become a reliever rather than the other way around, but he said it’s
　　good that I didn’t have to do it in midseason.”

　　Chamberlain did not want to expound on the Yankees’ attempt to trade for
　　Johan Santana.

　　“We can take what we’ve got and run with it,” he said. “He’s a great
　　pitcher, but we have good ones, too. I’m glad Andy Pettitte is coming
　　back. It’s nice to know there won’t be all new guys.”
　
　　Chamberlain still looks his age despite a new Van Dyke beard that seems
　　to have come out of an old Three Musketeers movie. He is proud of his new
　　look.

　　“I did a good job lining it up,” he said.
