[洋基] VOTE: What would you do with Joba?

In our interview with Brian Cashman, he told us that the loser of the 5th
starter competition would not be permanently banished to the bullpen. If the
decision were up to you, how would you handle Joba at this very moment? Let
us take a look at some choices along with their pros & cons.

Many, such as popular sabermetrician Mike Francesa, have advocated Jobar's
place as the setup man for a while now. He has undoubtedly been most dominant
in this role with a 1.50 ERA, 79 strikeouts, and just 2 homeruns surrendered
through 60 innings. However, even dominant relievers generally provide less
value than starters due to their fewer innings totals. If the Yankees go this
route, the aura surrounding Chamberlain appears to have been a lot of hype.

The Yankees could send Joba down to AAA to start for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
In this way, he would be able to throw an adequate amount of innings and
would be ready, workload-wise, to start next season (Pettitte and/or Vazquez
could be gone) or called up this year if need be. On the downside, Joba was
mowing down batters in AAA as far back as 2007. There might be little to be
learned on the minor league level and a send-down may even be looked at as a
step back in his development.

A sort of go-between to these two options would be to keep him stretched out
on the major league level. This could be done by giving him a role similar to
what is expected to go to Sergio Mitre (ie: long relief and spot starts). He
would be able to keep his innings up (not as many as a full-time starter in
AAA) while still facing major league hitting. The Yankees may, however,
prefer to define his role now rather than leave him in pitching limbo. There
is also the potential injury risk of changing his expected workload, ala 2008.

鄉民對於Joba還是希望只要他有先發機會，就拿去丟六局。
