Is he going to start the season as a starter and convert to relief or vice-versa? At some point, he should def be a starter or its a real waste of one of the best arms on the team. can some tell me what are they planning for joba?

They ranked Phil Hughes as the best pitching prospect in baseball last season and ranked Joba as the best pitching prospect in baseball this season. John Manuel one of their top editors also said Chamberlain was the best pitching prospect he's seen since joining BA - better than Josh Becket and Mark Prior. BA also had 4 yankees amongst their top 50 prospects this year. If you want to complain about Alan Horne, fine. Or that they're biased for the Sox, well ok. But they do a very good job over there with prospects. “Baseball America has virtually no insight at all into the Yanks.”

He calls a good game but everything else ehh actually I wouldn't be surprised if a NL team picks him up. ………

I think he's got a minor league contract with them. He and T-Clip can keep each other company. And Colter Bean I guess. I wasn't denying that Molina's an upgrade. He's DEFINITELY an upgrade. I just miss Wil's attitude. I am watching this game, and they showed up, and I just missed him a little. He's just so small and happy! Fran: Molina’s with the Nationals.

And those 2 RBI were the only 2 runs scored in the game. My friend (from France. So I guess she had an excuse and didn't know any better) and I decided that day to start the Wil Nieves fan club. We got some of the people in the seats around us to join in! Brandon: there was a game v. the Angels in May that Wil Nieves was 2 for 2 with a walk, or something, an had 2 RBI.

He was happy to be there and supposedly an all around good guy. But he really was not very good offensively or defensively. Jose Molina is a huge upgrade at back-up catcher. Is Nieves on another team? Andrea – I agree. He was happy to be there and supposedly an all around good guy. But he really was not very good offensively or defensively.
