That doesn't make a heck of a lot of sense to me. Picture this, Rivera throws his arm off and Joba is in the starting rotation...now what? Farnsworth? Notgonnadoit..Wouldn't be prudent..at..this..juncture... The real rub, in my opinion, is that I think Cashman believes Jaba will be the Yankees closer but is appeasing him, the greatest closer ever, and his boss. I think Cashman is playing it close to the vest and is thinking of Jaba as a great 8th inning pitcher who will become the closer as soon as Rivera gets old, hurt, or retires...which could be soon, especially if the Yankees become a .500 team this year, which isn't unfathomable, as they say. And hey...wait a minute...isn't that how Rivera became Rivera? Talk about following his own model for success!
