You make excellent points and it reminds me of what the true plan has been since he was drafted. The intention all along was to use Joba as a starter;...
My only concern right now is how quickly they have stretched him out. I just hope he doesn't hurt his arm. ... From: Anthony Armentano <aja716@...> ...
I hav eno worries about Joba starting. I am not opposed to it in principle. What concerns me is the timing. If one of the young relievers we've heard so much...
It could have taken all year if the Yankees had waited until someone was ready to replace Joba in the 8th. ... From: Tim and Suzanne <tbpsmd@...> ...
Has anyone heard about the progress of Sanchez, or Brackman.? I know Brackman will not pitch until the end of the year, but I haven't heard anything about...

Brackman will not pitch until next year. Sanchez may start pitching in the minors soon. Jonathon Sanchez is pitching well, but it's in the low minors.There are...
Like you, I have no worries about Joba starting. It's not like it's his first time to start, since he's been a starter for his whole college/minor league...
This happened over the weekend. Scott Patterson took his roster spot. Posada is expected back on Thursday of this week, so that will probably mean the end of...
I heard yesterday that Girardi said that he's planning on carrying 3 catchers at least until they know Jorge is 100%.. So he may not go that quickly. Who...
Very good point Tim. That is probably my biggest concern too. Joba has four pitches and has started in the past and can do it but who...
I hope it's worth the anticipation. Last night was disappointing. Pettitte gave up 5 runs and of course Farnsworth gave up what ended up being the game...
It's always been my theory that the Red Sox are not a division winner unless they have both Manny and Ortiz. They proved it in 06 when Manny got hurt and they...
Yes, last night another disappointment. The Yanks win the first 2 games and lose the last 2 games against Minnesota. Pettitte had a 4-2 in the 6th, and a 5-4...
I don't know if the Yankees have it in them yet to make a move. The Sox have the resources (money and/or prospects) to acquire someone else if...
I didn't really expect much in his first start. I didn't think he'd walk that many (jitters? pressure?), but I thought he'd gvie up more hits than he...
Definitely jitters. All those walks and an even a balk on top of it show that to be the case. On the positive side, he kept a cool head and managed to escape...

I don't follow minor league baseball too closely, so I am grateful for these updates. I usually watch player's overall stats for a season. While reading these...
Good point. The Yankees have inning limits on their young pitchers. That to me is one of the problems. Hughes, Kennedy, Chamberlain haven't thrown a lot of...
*Triple A*<http://www.yankeesdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/trentonthunder.gif> The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees lost to the Norfolk Tides by a score of...
Yep and I turned on the game to just see Farnsworth do just that. I don't see the Yankees that often on TV and I was majorly upset. ...
I hope so. They just overtook first place from the Rays without Ortiz. The Red Sox seem to have a lot of depth and it disgusts...
You know who has done good with Colorado this season is Matt Herges. He has come in and pitched a number of innings in different type...
Yep and Boston has two legit first baseman WITHOUT Ortiz, in Youkilis and Sean Casey. If only the Yankees had gotten Casey... ...
They have a lot of depth - especially in the minors, and unlike the Yankee young guys, the Red Sox young guys produce - Ellsbury, Pedroia, Lowrie, Lester,...
