Since the Yankees named Phil Hughes the fifth starter the big question has been what does the future hold for Joba Chamberlain ?

The Yankees drafted right-handed pitcher Alan Horne in the 11th round of the 2005 amateur draft and by the 2008 season he was ranked among the top Yankee prospects poised to make the major leagues. Since then he’s dealt with injury after injury, missing most of the 2008 and 2009 seasons. Now 27-years-old, 2010 was expected to be an [...]

As it’s been since the Yankees announced that Phil Hughes won the fifth starter job the news has been a little slow and probably will be until the season starts.

A Field Guide to Yankee Fans for the Rest of Us »
Some pests are hard to get rid of. Like Yankee fans. As anyone who follows American League ball can tell you, they show up in droves at opposing ballparks whenever the Bronx Bombers visit. With their charming ways, chainsaw accents, and oh-so-gentle demeanor, they continue to be ambassadors for the civility and "live and let live" attitude [...]
