Here is how the Yankees will line up their pitching for tomorrow’s game against South Florida:
Joba Chamberlain (2 innings)
Ian Kennedy (2 innings)
Phil Hughes (1 inning)
Kei Igawa (1 inning)
Jefff Marquez (1 inning)
Alan Horne (1 inning)
Chase Wright (1 inning)
Hughes has one inning because he’ll be starting on Tuesday.
except for hughes (already #4 starter) and Karstens/Rasner (battling for long relief job), is that starters #5-10?
baseball
People keep talking about the “long relief job” but I don’t see that there is such a thing available. If Joba comes out of spring training as a starter then mussina will be in the bullpen. If that happens whats the point of having karstens or rasner? On the other hand if Joba is in the bullpen to start the season your bullpen will look like:
Mariano, Farns, Hawkins, Joba, , ,
There are so many guys competing for those last three spots, do you really want to waste one on Karstens or Rasner? Just how the yankees say they don’t want to take a lefty just to have a lefty, I don’t think they should take a long reliever just to have a long reliever. However, if you want to say Karstens or Rasner are guaranteed a long relief spot you have to include Igawa in that competition.
Anyone know the rotation for spring?
What an awful way to line up the pitchers for that game against overmatched college guys. We now have Clueless Joe part II! Kidding people, kidding.
But, I can’t wait for people to complain about this somehow.
Why o why isn’t this on TV?!?!?
Seeing this pitching lineup gave me my first real “baseball is coming!” shivver. Goosebumps….
Funny comments by Tino about the USF game.

wood is good:
Unfortunately intrasquad games aren’t on TV because networks can’t get ad revenue for games like this. Whenever you see a game on TV, the network pays the league and/or team a fee to broadcast the game. The network sells advertising time to cover that broadcasting fee. If the fee is greater than the ad revenue, the network won’t broadcast the game.
Also with YES its difficult to fit those games into the schedule. The network is contractually obligated to repeat Nets games from the night before in the morning, and then Mike & the Mad Dog is on all afternoon. They’ve also got other shows that are part of their programming schedule. So there’s not a priority to fit meaningless games into the broadcasting day.
Probably was asked a bunch of times but, Is this game on MLBtv?
This game should be an easy one for the yankees but the last 2 innings don’t sound too great.
Patrick, Moose is not pitching in the pen to start the season… Girardi already said he’s in the rotation, and that he favors a long man to be available in the pen.
To me, it seems like Girardi has decided to take the 3 best BP pitchers to fill the remaining 3 spots..
I think he’s said that he won’t nessacarly take a lefty specialist unless someone really steps up..
I’m not sure if the same would go for a long man.. But maybe..
Why did they have to include Igawa and ugly up that rotation? Take Mr. Sensitive Eyes out of it and you have the top four young pitchers in the system and two decent ones. A prospect-fan’s dream come true.
I think Abraham reported it in his article today.
Wang, Pettitte, Moose, Hughes, Kennedy (w/ Joba pitching piggyback with Kennedy early in the spring).
Pete:
Which position players are playing in the game? Most/All of the regulars?
will tomorrows game be televised ?
joba, phil and ian ni the same game.. i CANNOT BELIEVE I CANT SEE IT
does anyone have the YES television schedule for the spring?
it will be blogevised
Horne was the EL pitcher of the year last year and will most likely pitch for the big club at some point this year (probably out of the pen).
A long reliever makes sense to take the strain off the bullpen in using a series of short relievers when those days happen (and they do) of a starter having a bad outing early in the game. The days of bullpen burnout are over with.
A long reliever can also be used as a spot starter.
saucY,
Happy Hour?
Congrats to Rutgers’ Vivian Stringer for joining the 800 Win Club.
I hope that Don Imus sends his congrats.
I am very curious to see how Jefff Marquez & Alan Horne do.
Pete please make sure to watch them pitch.
Well if they do go for a long man, I think Karstens has the best shot at that spot.
Isiah sends Vivian Stringer his congrats
Glenn,
I agree. This year, more than ever, we need someone reliable because of the funky rotations.
Joba to be on schedule to pitch the same days as Ian. I though Ian had the most IP? Mussina is lined up as the #3 right now, but if he’s not hitting the high 80′s, I’d like to see Hughes go in that spot.

thank god they are putting igawa in there. we’ll need him to stop the bleeding.
mel: we need to make happy hour every hour
and congrats to c vivian! always liked her.
yankees mobile, you cant bee too big a fan if you don’t want to see alan horne pitch. He had the best season in the organization after joba and ian last season. He will pitch for the yanks this season barring injury. maybe pitch alot of innings before its over.
Josh: Spring Training TV schedule:

Whoops! Didn’t notice someone already posted it!
If Joba comes out of spring training as a starter then mussina will be in the bullpen.
That seems to contradict everything else we’ve been told. Most likely, IPK would be sent to the bullpen or, more likely, AAA
thansk for the schedules guys
and i was going to ask why is Hughes going just one? you know your readers Pete.
Obviously I’m looking forward to the big 3 but I’m really excited to see Horne. I think this kid is going to be very, very good for us. I’ll be at the game tomorrow
