Joba’s Shoulder Woes

I’m a little late on this one. My grad school program started last week, so please bare with me while my schedule starts to come together. I’ll still post regularly, of course, it just takes me a few days to figure out how I’m going to organize my time.

Anyway, Joba Chamberlain was experiencing some tightness in his shoulder during the first game of the doubleheader against the Sox, which explains why his velocity was down a bit (and why he couldn’t perform, forcing Girardi to go to Mariano Rivera to get the final outs of the game). Joba will have the entire offseason to rest his million dollar arm and will not participate in any fall leagues. He’s not concerned and I don’t think the Yankees are either.
