Even at the big league level batters aren't very good facing that.

This is what has to be the predominany thought. I could care less if he strikes out 20 in 15 IP if he also gives up 23 hits, walks 13, serves up 3 HR, and allows 10 ER. It's one thing to be called up, it's another to be good enough to stay up. I hope Joba never gets sent back down i.e. he's is so good sending him back down isn't a thought. I/ we all wish that for all callups. We'll see. I wouldn't be suprised if he had a first M.L.B. inning like Edwar Ramirez had (side struck out), but I wouldn't be suprised if he was rocked for 4 hits and 2-3 runs in 1/3, 2/3, or 1 IP either. This is M.L.B., another animal altogether. I'd be content with a grounder, a fly ball, and a pop up, and 15 pitches. It's just as good as 3 K.

Russ Johnson, Alex Rios, Vernon Wells, Frank Thomas & Lyle Overbay et.al. are not A and AA hitters. Neither are the Indians or rest of the A.L. With that said, here's to the start of a hopefully long, solid Yankee career for Joba!

Cairo does have a slight hamstring tweak so he could be DLed. I heard Bruney only has one option left. Cairo does have a slight hamstring tweak so he could be DLed.

I think he still has options." Pretty sure he does, which is good. Bruney I don't want to give up on. I hope they get a nice lead today so that they can let Joba get his feet wet and then have Karstens mop up. “I am not sure what they are doing with Bruney. I think he still has options.”
