So what's /sp/'s opinion on Joba Chamberlain?
He outdueled Josh Beckett on Friday, and won again today.

i think he is pretty good. he doesn't go many innings, but i'm sure that will change.

Dominant stuff, yanks need a starter like him at least while Wang is out

Joba is definitely for real and gets better each time out there. He never gets hits hard at all and when runs score off of him, its never much and usually cheap basehits or an error behind em. He has a bright future and is very clemens-like. Should be interesting to see what happens when Hughes and Kennedy return, and also Wang. Imo, Kennedy just doesnt have what it takes and should be used as trade bait in the future. His whole make up just sucks, hes too afraid to attack the hitters, and he has no power whatsoever in his arm.

As much as I wanted the media to shut up about him when he turned starter, he has been pretty good and worthy of praise. Part of that may be teams not knowing him well quite yet due to his limited experience as a major league starter. Still though, he's been good.

I have to kind of laugh at this thread because before his gem at fenway ALOT of people said Joba was just an overweight Clemens wannabe the got to much hype.

So to see people say good things about him for a change is nice.

I see him becoming a middle reliever sooner or later..

I read that the Yankees won 8 of his 11 starts.
So that means he is 3-1 as a starter with 7 no decisions because the bats hadn't synchronized.

I lol'd hard when that happens. I predict the two will go at it soon in the next and last Yanks-Sawks matchup.

You would be correct
