Maybe too much of his mom in him. If he (Joba) doesn't regain extreme heater, he's not gonna be that effective as a reliever or starter. But of the two, he belongs in the pen ! PERIOD Halladay, yes, but don't give too much ! May only have 3-4 good years left. Never know when injury could pop up.

However..I think the wild- card team should only have one game at home. I know the schedules are unbalanced but having the best record should count for something.

Give him 10mil plus another 2mil in insentives if you really want him back. No screwing around with him or his adjents this year. If Andy is retiring then the Yankees need to get another real good #2 or #3 starter. Andy was the 2nd best pitcher on the 2009 Yankees without question. Joba or Phil are not ready to fill that roll. Suff wise they have more than Andy but Andy is consistant and has a huge heart I honestly don't think that Cash will give up Phil or Joba in a multi player trade for Doc. If Andy retires, that could change though. Andy coming back has to be first on the list. Give him 10mil plus another 2mil in insentives if you really want him back.

Whatever. I M O, he still is the type of pitcher that will be able to dominate MLB batters when he is given one full year to pitch. He has done everything the Yankees have asked of him, including the Joba Rules. The JR rules were just plain stupid this year. I still believe he is a better pitcher than Hughes, has more pitches and the dynamics to be a top of the rotation pitcher in the future. Joe did TRUST Joba to relieve in the WS over Phil, who did, now admit it, choke badly. I think that Phil has felt the pressure more of the competion forced upon he and Joba. the only way he will become a force is if Joba is not on the same team. If you have watched Joba pitch the past 3 years, who would you rather pitch against you in a game? Joba or Phil??

The fact that Cashmans did not offer arb to Damon makes me believe he has other ideas on what to do with that money. Just like not offering arb to Abreu. That money turned in to Tex. I am not sure whats up Cashman's sleeve, but I am willing to bet it is Not trimming payroll. Thumbs up to Globe ;-)
