Joba Chamberlain has six quality starts (at least six innings, three or fewer earned runs), which is actually tied for the Yankee lead with CC Sabathia and A.J. Burnett – and one more than Andy Pettitte. For those scoring at home, it is also six more than Chien-Ming Wang.

If you think Chamberlain should be in the bullpen, by the way, do you also think David Price should right now be in Tampa’s pen? After all, we saw what he could do last year as a reliever in the postseason just as Joba showed what he could do as a reliever in 2007. Like Joba, Price is not a finished product as a starter as he still has work to do with his changeup and efficiency (sound familiar). Like the Yankees, Tampa has the kind of rotation depth that would allow Price to slip into the bullpen, especially when Scott Kazmir returns from the DL. Like the Yanks, Tampa has the kind of roster that can win now, but has a weakness in the pen.
