Experts Peg Joba As A Top Starter
27th April, 2008 - 9:52 am
The New York Post - Baseball experts that have seen Joba Chamberlain pitch as a starter in the minor leagues believe that he would be a top starter for the Yankees, according to the New York Post.

"When you are a pro scout and you put in a guy at Class-A as a No. 1 starter, well, you can go a couple of years and not do that. The times I saw him, he was an easy-identification No. 1 starter. He was powerful and resilient. He went deep into games and used all four of his pitches," said a long-time scout who saw two of Joba's Class-A starts.

"I will tell you what I think on this kid. You put him in a playoff game, and when he leaves it is going to be 1-0 or 2-1. The score is going to be low for the other side. He was a dominant No. 1 guy in the minors," added the scout. [READ]
