I understand trying to restrict the increase in workload from year to year to something like +20IP, but I don't think that applies as much to someone who spent 3 months on the DL. If he's pitching well as a starter, they are going to have a hard time limiting his IPs.Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04839022142066882411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1256268100133425608.post-74731434853179730062009-01-04T09:56:00.000-05:002009-01-04T09:56:00.000-05:00Either he starts in the pen or they skip his turn ...Either he starts in the pen or they skip his turn in the rotation every so often.Xmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14775894571709362162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1256268100133425608.post-42247058739960506972009-01-04T09:33:00.000-05:002009-01-04T09:33:00.000-05:00Innings Pitched, specifically quality innings pitc...Innings Pitched, specifically quality innings pitched, are the most important thing thing in baseball. Long run he has to be a starter. This year I see him at an innings cap of roughly 160 IP so like last year I see him starting out as a reliever and then transitioning into a starter.Xmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14775894571709362162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1256268100133425608.post-81511003019461251852009-01-04T09:17:00.000-05:002009-01-04T09:17:00.000-05:00And also, I wish you guys could put as much though...And also, I wish you guys could put as much thought into your comments as "goooooood girl" does.

Injury concerns are the reason the Yanks were able to draft him with the 41st pick; he's definitely got a checkered past.

His value as a starter far exceeds his value as a reliever.

With the injuries last year you might not want to start him becasue his innings total wasn't that high.<BR/><BR/>2. Joba has been injury prone ever since high school so it would make more sense to put him in the pen and have him conserve himself.<BR/><BR/>3.
