    Key number there is innings pitched. With that said, no one should be shocked if Nova is nowhere near as good as he was last season. I predict Hughes will out-pitch him this season.

    I usually don't pay attention to spring numbers, but Raul Ibanez bat could not look any slower. He's 40 years old. There is a pretty good chance he's finished. Hope the Yankees are in contact with Johnny Damon.

    The only good news about Ibanez is that he's batting against both lefties and righties in the Spring but is expected to be used primarily against righties. Otherwise he's not looking too good.

    My biggest concern about Nova is the Home Runs. It's a small sample size, but 3 HR per 9 IP is atrocious.

    No way Nova will lose his job before the break unless he gets hurt. Even then it's doubtful.

    Pettitte shouldn't even be major-league ready until May so I expect the Yankees to start the year with Nova in the rotation regardless.

    Apparently it's "significant". Good work Joba.

    Sounds like he is all but through again this year..unless the media is making it sound worse than it actually is.

    He was playing with his kid. Tough luck. I had high hopes for him adding to our stacked bullpen.

    "Yankees right-hander Joba Chamberlain underwent surgery Thursday night for an open dislocation in his right ankle, general manager Brian Cashman said Friday morning.

    An open dislocation is one in which the bone protrudes from the skin. It's conceivable that Chamberlain could miss all of the season as a result."

    I liked Joba, but he's really too stupid to pitch for the Yankees.
