Last night Joba Chamberlain, the Yanks new triple A prospect, made his debut for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last night.  In 5 scoreless innings, he posted 10 k’s while allowing 4 hits and walking 1. He threw 57 of 88 pitches for strikes.

It’s nice to hear the Yanks finally talking about bringing him up possibly around the first or second week in august to maybe be the 8th inning guy since Farnsworth is terrible and the Yanks aren’t too convinced on Visciano yet.

From Newark Star Ledger…

While the Yankees will not publicly commit to bringing back Phillip Hughes yet.

“We’ll see where we are at that point in time and what our needs are” Toree said.

I’m sick of the Yankees babying their young arms. Mussina is on the verge of losing his spot in the rotation I believe. The Yanks should bring back Hughes as soon as possible I think. I’m not convinced Mussina get get the job done anymore…maybe against the lowly Royals but certainly not any decent teams. And if this Chamberlain is this hot young stud, give him the 5th spot in the rotation!

And the last thing, I’m reading today that the Yanks have been shopping Johnny Damon, the Braves are interested, but not at that price. It seems the Yanks would have to eat alot of money to deal him. The Mets are another possibility with Beltran going down and Moises Alou’s body being about 65 years old.
