09/03: Joba Chamberlain's Innings to Be Limited in 2009
This was probably a fairly safe assumption at this point, given how the team has handled Joba, but
Ed Price reports that the Yankees will be limiting the work of Joba Chamberlain in 2009.
"He had an innings limit this year that he didn't meet," general manager Brian Cashman said. "Would he exceed that innings limit next year? You wouldn't want to do that, as simple as that." ...
"If someone adds a significant amount of innings from the previous year (to get to) an area where they've never been, history says that those guys either have breakdowns or significant underperformance."
