joba chamberlain new york yankees

Joba Chamberlain started the 2008 baseball season in the bullpen. It appears as if he’ll end the season in the bullpen, as well.

Chamberlain, who missed time recently due to a shoulder injury, had been starting for the Yankees. As a starter, Chamberlain had a lot of success. In fact, Chamberlain was arguably the Yankees’ best starter.

In 12 starts, Chamberlain posted an ERA of 2.76 and had 74 strikeouts in 65.1 innings. While he was only 3-1 in his starts, he seemed to be getting better and better.

Returning to the bullpen isn’t all bad news for Chamberlain and the Yankees. Out of the bullpen, Chamberlain has a 2.28 ERA in 20 appearances. The Yankees will keep Chamberlain in the bullpen to minimize the wear and tear on his arm. Expect him to be the setup man for closer Mariano Rivera.
