I heard on ESPN Joba may go back to the bullpen. I'm assuming they'll keep Hughes in the rotation and Wang will take Joba's spot, bumping him back to the pen. So it looks like everyone's wish about Joba in the pen may FINALLY come true.
But, first I wanna see how long Hughes keeps this up and if Wang can rebound. Both of those questions first need to be answered before I even consider endorsing that move.
It always seemed to me that there was an excessive amount of attention paid to Chamberlain's innings as a starter. It was almost as if they didn't have a lot of faith in him as a starter. I heard that his velocity is considerably less than what it was. Anyway, Peter Gammons was calling for his move to the pen for a week now.. They need a reliable set up man.
I agree with you that I'd want to see how Hughes does with 6 or 7 consecutive starts. He has potential, but has been plagued by injury and inconsistency
