I think Kabak did a very good job analyzing that Harper’s article didn’t prove his own point–that the Yankees are considering moving Joba to the bullpen. That isn’t to say that they aren’t, but rather that Harper’s quotes of pitching coach Dave Eiland didn’t substantiate that. This is, after all, an open competition that Joba may well win.

What I think Joba meant/would have said if he didn’t have to be diplomatic about the issue: “I could win 20 games and people are still going to bitch and moan because they think I could save 50, but that’s retarded because a successful starter is exponentially more valuable than a successful reliever.”

Enough with this crap already.

However, now that we have Pettitte, we can line up our rotation accordingly. If we get a guy who can step into the rotation an stay healthy, we could put Hughes as the #5 and put Joba in the bullpen (depending on the circumstances). "We noticed this year that Joba has a different attitude coming out of the pen. He is the type of pitcher that comes at you with blood, sweat, and guts. Joba starting a game is more reserved, which might not be his make-up. We will talk is through, see if we can get the right people in the right place to make us stornger. Joba could be that "guy" in the bullpen. He said if the right oppurtunity presents itself, then YES Joba could be in the bullpen" I think the problem here is that admitting that Joba is not a starter is also admitting he's not all that valuable. You guys need to let go of that. Not quite:

I agree then with your point; which sucks because instead of just focusing on helping the team win (the main goal), it's replaced with all this other BS. Ok, yeah reading fail on my part.
