Buckarver were so annoying on that issue, acting like their logic was unassailable, that the Beckett HBP's were obviously unintentional and therefore CC's equally obvious "payback" was unwarranted. First, they ignored the Cervelli knockdowns which were much more suspicious. More importantly, there comes a point where it simply doesn't MATTER whether it was "intentional" or not. Enough is enough, and too much was definitely too much. If I'm Girardi or CC I send a clear message that, intentional or not, you'd better find a way to cut it out fast. It will be very interesting when we next face the Grinch... [14] Exactly.

I think when Jeter says somehing like that publically, you know it's a done deal. People haven't talked about it much, but he is taking an important role in the pen. He got the call while Mo was out. As good as the rest of the pen can be, I don't think anyone else can be the closer. Joba's not there yet, but that's what this year is for.

Andy is only missing one start. Obviously the hope is that JV rights himself. Neither is gone yet so I wouldn't move Joba out of a high leverage situation just yet to stretch him out or whatever.

Between JV and Andy, if one really wanted Joba to be a starter, now would be a good time to stretch him out. But the Yankees don't appear interested. I thought it was that no SR slot was available, but I'm beginning to wonder. Have the Yanks seen something that makes them think Joba can't be an effective starter? Joba's #s so far are very good: 13.2 IP, 5 BB, 14K, 1.17 WHIP, 2.63 ERA. Very nice, but not fantastic. Have the Yankees soured on Joba? There is a part of my gut that says he would be included in a trade for pitching. Paranoid me? I’m thinking here….
