Stretching Joba?
Darrell Rasner picked up a short shutout tonight, going seven innings as the Yankees downed the Orioles 8-0. New York had Joba pitch the final two innings. This is the first time this season he pitched two innings, and I'm wondering if the Yankees are starting to stretch him out. I don't buy that the Yankees have to send Chamberlain to the minors in order to make the transition to starter. Johan Santana did it in the majors. I won't be surprised to see him pitch three innings soon.

ESPN.com has a nice article up about this, i guess Girardi is saying that this is the first step in the Yankees attempt to Transition Joba to a Starter.
