...because that leaves the option of starting Joba. with Mo.

Santana is the biggest need, with another power reliever (maybe Joba?) a close second.

2008 Rotation-Santana, Hughes, Kennedy, Mussina. Obviously Pettite slides in if he re-ups...Obviously Joba is an option, although he might be more valuable in the short term in the bullpen.

Isn't Joba Chamberlain a lock for next year's starting rotation? I thought Hank Steinbrenner has publicly stated this.

Yes, he is.

Papelbon was a lock to be in the Red Sox rotation at this time last year. Joba is going to go where he gives the Yankees the most value for 2008, and if that's the bullpen, he'll be in the bullpen. If you think about it from an EV perspective, he might give more value in the pen anyways.

My brother wants him in the pen because "if he starts we don't get to watch him every night." [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I agree with the above but both Cashman and the idiots who own the team have said that he's going to be a starter. For now, I believe them.
