Rookie hurler will be starter when Spring Training opens
NEW YORK -- Joba Chamberlain has the information he asked for, and the
Yankees hope that he'll answer a question at the front of the 2008 rotation.
Chamberlain, who made a splash as a dominant setup man down the stretch of
the 2007 season, will open Spring Training as a starter, club senior vice
president Hank Steinbrenner has confirmed.
Speaking with the Associated Press outside Legends Field late on Friday,
Steinbrenner said that no decisions have yet been made regarding manager Joe
Torre's status for 2008, with organizational meetings scheduled for Tuesday
in Tampa, Fla.
"The only thing that's been decided, [the one thing] that we all agree on, is
that Chamberlain and [Phillip] Hughes start out Spring Training as starters,"
Steinbrenner said.
Chamberlain, 22, provided a needed spark after being converted from a starter
in the Minors into a big league-ready reliever. Jumping all the way from
Class A Tampa in his first full professional season, Chamberlain was 2-0 with
a 0.38 ERA and one save in 19 relief appearances with New York.
Speaking this week as he cleaned out his Yankee Stadium locker, Chamberlain
said he would prefer to know his future assignment as soon as possible.
"The earlier the better, just because of the mindset," Chamberlain said.
"It's a big part of this game, so I can have an idea of what's going to
happen when I get there. Physically, I'm not going to prepare any different,
but mentally, I can prepare for what's going to happen and how I'm going to
approach everything."
To protect their young hurler, the Yankees instituted a set of guidelines
that came to be called the "Joba Rules." A group of advisors -- most notably
general manager Brian Cashman and pitching coordinator Nardi Contreras --
scripted situations and circumstances in which Chamberlain could be used by
Torre.
Often, the rules proved confusing enough that Torre had to place pregame
telephone calls just to confirm Chamberlain's status for that day. The club
gradually phased the rules out in September, allowing Chamberlain to pitch on
back-to-back days and enter games in mid-inning as preparation for the
playoffs.
While Chamberlain proved effective in setting up for closer Mariano Rivera --
at least until a swarm of Lake Erie midges unnerved him in a Game 2
appearance at Jacobs Field during the American League Division Series -- the
Yankees have to continued to state that they see Chamberlain as a starting
pitcher going forward.
Chamberlain made 15 starts in the Minor Leagues between Class A Tampa,
Double-A Trenton and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He was 9-2 with a 2.56
ERA, allowing 24 earned runs and 61 hits while walking 27 and striking out
125 in 84 1/3 innings.
Chamberlain also made four relief appearances as he prepared for an Aug. 7
promotion to New York. Speaking as he cleaned out his Yankee Stadium locker
this week, Chamberlain said he would throw his curveball and changeup more as
a starting pitcher.
Much of his early success at the big league level -- Chamberlain did not
allow a run in his first 15 1/3 innings, striking out 34 in 24 innings -- was
accomplished on the strength of just two pitches, a high-90s fastball and a
biting slider.
"Anything I can do to help the team win, in any aspect or any light, I think
I'll do the best I can," Chamberlain said. "I'll give it everything I've got
every time I go out, whether it's every fifth day or doing whatever I do out
of the bullpen. It's something I look forward to doing."
