Joba Chamberlain

by YunelTheLazyLatino on Nov 21, 2010 6:29 PM EST

its kind of obvious he's falling off the Yank's hierarchy. But I see huge potential in the guy and i think he could be a better starter than Hughes. It could turn out like the Morrow trade.

If it does happen, we would have 6 potential starters, which could be a problem, but then we could trade one of them for a bat. (personally i'd prefer we trade Marcum)

Should we trade for him? Would it cost too much? Thoughts?

so a pitcher

and Davis?

technically

by giving them Davis, we’d also give them an arm (or two)

but but but but but

would the Yanks really set the price that high? Even if it is intradivision?
Its not like the Yanks neccesarily need him. They can get FAs

by that logic

they don’t need anyone except FAs they’ve already signed

I meant as part of a bullpen

which is a lot easier to fill up with FAs

the Yankees aren't like other teams

with someone like Joba, they’d rather keep him in their bullpen where he wasn’t doing much than sell him low and take the chance that he might be great for the new team and make them look bad.

I think he would cost too much because the Yankees can afford to just hold onto him in their bullpen instead of selling low.

That and Im not as high on him as you are Yunel

Meh

Joba was the most overrated prospect in recent memory. I like him on the Yankees. Everytime he pitches against us, we shell him.

That made me curious to go look up our stats against Joba

105PA (95AB) .316/.381/.474/.855

You'd rather have Joba than Marcum?

mills for joba

Marcum’s better; he just wasn’t as highly touted. There’s a huge difference, especially when you come through the Yankee’s system

If your idea is just to trade Marcum after getting Joba anyway, wouldn’t the best idea be to trade Marcum for Joba and try to steal a couple prospects from the Yankees in the process?
