Joba is a lock for the rotation next year (to start the year). They aren't wasting him in the bullpen, being a setup guy.
Kennedy may start the year in the minors.
I think Joba will be in the minors to start the year so he can work on his arsenal and they can limit his innings. I think Igawa will get his spot.

this team didnt fall apart, it got beat by real teams which are clearly several levels above this yankee team....this team cant hack it with real teams, and is a pretender

Can we stop with that juvenile name? He's not choking, he just doesn't have it anymore. The dude is trying his hardest, he's just met Father Time.

You might be right on Joba. But I don't see why they should be too hesistant with Kennedy when he should be able to pitch a full or near-full workload next season. I definitely don't want to keep him down there just to give Igawa another shot.

I think if there is a choice between Kennedy and Mussina for the 5th starter spot, the Yankees will choose Mussina. If Mussina is ineffective, then they'll call up Kennedy.

when your starting pitcher gives up 5+ runs in the first two innings every start, it messes with you mentally, especially when the other pitcher is a good one in verlander.... you almost come out of the dugout defeated...
It took a great catch by melky to keep the game from being out of hand in the first inning...
