lol @ the idea of an organization like the Yankees being “swindled” by a 16 yr old poor teen from the third world.

Not uncommon from Latin American prospects from Cuba or Dominican Republic … this is not usual on major talent contributors Puerto Rico, Venezuela and Mexico. Nor has it happened from Nicaragua or Panama.

“”I just find it unusual that up to this point, no one has attributed it to the fact that he’s having to throw 4 different pitches now instead of just 2. His control was clearly better as a reliever and his throwing motion was more fluid. It’s probably much easier to repeat a throwing motion when you are throwing 2 pitches instead of 4. Having to throw 4 pitches probably screwed up Joba’s mechanics to such an extent that he has experienced inconsistency with his velocity. He can indeed still touch 97 so I don’t think he has any kind of hidden injury. The problem is his velocity comes and goes and he has no control over when, where and why. It has everything to do with his mechanics. He’s got a big body with alot of moving parts. It might be difficult for him to command 4 different pitches now and into the future as a starter. It’s possible that Joba Chamberlain is not Roger Clemens but Mariano Rivera ain’t half bad.”"

That doesn’t mean teh FO should just concede Joba being a starter because they might think his arm slot/mechanics get out of wack when he trows curve/change. That means patience is needed.

People forget that Cash had to go to the mat to get ownership to approve Tex. That was before the empty seats and price cuts.

I like they are doing this stuff. Whoever signed up for Thursday night may be feeling sluggish for Friday’s game.
