March 17, 2010 Joba Chamberlain finally looked good in a spring appearance against the Phillies on Wednesday, striking out three in three innings of relief while giving up one run off two hits and one walk. Our View:Joba's solid outing cut his spring ERA down to a still awful 16.20. Performances like today's are encouraging, though he'd still seem to be behind Phil Hughes, and possibly even Alfredo Aceves and Sergio Mitre, in the race for the No. 5 spot in the Yankees starting rotation. |

March 12, 2010 There is currently no front-runner in the race for the No. 5 spot in the Yankees' rotation, according to the New York Daily News. Our View:Joba Chamberlain and Phil Hughes are the top candidates, the latter of which has performed better so far in spring training. It appears that Alfredo Aceves and Sergio Mitre remain in the hunt as well. They are all being evaluated on more than just their stats. |

March 10, 2010 Joba Chamberlain got rocked yet again on Wednesday, giving up six runs off five hits (including a grand slam to Gerald Laird) and three walks over 2.1 innings against the Tigers. Our View:Joba has now allowed 11 runs over 3.1 innings in his two appearances thus far, giving up eight hits and six walks. Normally we wouldn't dwell too much on performances in spring training, but in Chamberlain's case, he has a whole lot to prove if he wants to receive any consideration for the fifth and final spot in New York's rotation. Phil Hughes has looked pretty sharp in his two appearances thus far, not to mention that fellow candidates Alfredo Aceves and Sergio Mitre have both been superb in their two appearances. |

March 5, 2010 Joba Chamberlain gave up five runs in just 1.1 innings of action in today's loss to the Rays. Our View:Perhaps Chamberlain is still being bothered by the flu. Either way, he obviously did not gain any ground in the race to win the No. 5 spot in New York's rotation. |

March 3, 2010 Joba Chamberlain fared well during his pen session Wednesday, according to The Journal News. Our View:Chamberlain did not throw yesterday while down with the flu. He may pitch in Friday's exhibition game, and will be observed closely while competing for the fifth spot in New York's rotation. |

February 19, 2010 Yankees pitching coach Dave Eiland recently hinted that the team plans to use Joba Chamberlain as a reliever in 2010, according to the NY Daily News. "I think we've all seen the difference in him when he starts and relieves," Eiland said. Our View:Chamberlain struggled as a starter last season but has been outstanding over the past three seasons whenever he's come out of the bullpen. The Yankees already have four spots in their starting rotation accounted for and a number of candidates for the No. 5 spot (Phil Hughes leads the way, with Alfredo Aceves, Sergio Mitre and Chad Gaudin expected to contend as well), so it certainly wouldn't leave their rotation thin if they did in fact use Joba in relief. |

January 31, 2010 After being shuttled back-and-forth between the rotation and bullpen last season, Joba Chamberlain is expected to be the Yankees' fifth starter in 2010, according to the New York Post. Our View:The team has told him to prepare as such this spring training. While he was anything but dominant as a starter last year, he should not go undrafted in any format. |
