Posada: Keep Joba in the bullpen: Jorge Posada wants Joba Chamberlain kept in the bullpen and predicts more injuries for the young pitcher if the Yankees put him their starting rotation. "I think if you start him and he pitches 200 innings in one year, you're going to lose him. He's going to get hurt. I don't see him as a starter," Posada said Monday during a session of CenterStage, scheduled to air on the team's YES Network starting Sept. 28. Chamberlain was 3-1 with a 2.76 ERA in 12 starts, striking out 74 in 65 1/3 innings. He is 1-2 with a 2.29 ERA in 24 relief appearances, fanning 34 in 28 2/3 innings. "I see him as a reliever. I think his body is made up for a reliever," Posada said. New York hasn't decided its future plans for Chamberlain. "We'll discuss whether Chamberlain will be a starter or a reliever, along with everything else, during the winter," co-chairman Hank Steinbrenner said.

Fantasy Analysis

Chamberlain, the hard-throwing righty who turns 23 next week, began the season in the Yankees bullpen, then moved to the rotation in June. The plan was to limit his innings early, then make him a full-time starter. He was sidelined from Aug. 4 to Sept. 2 because of rotator cuff tendinitis and went back to the bullpen when he returned. "A little tendinitis, it just tells you a lot," Posada said after the TV interview. Consider Chamberlain the best non-closer reliever in baseball at this point and a potential sleeper t start again in spring 2009.
