The House that Joba Built
Via My Baseball Bias, Joe Girardi's projected rotation should put Joba Chamberlain on the mound for the first regular season game at the new Yankee Stadium:
Girardi said he had lined up the pitchers all the way through the 162-game schedule, and he projects Chamberlain for 30 starts. "I'm not sure we skipped him at any point," Girardi added.
That got me to thinking. The first game at the new Yankee Stadium is the Yankees' 10th game of the season - the end of the second time through the rotation. If Chamberlain is not going to be skipped, does that mean he starts the home opener?
"I don't really want to give up that, because a lot of things could happen in spring training that could change that," Girardi said. "I can't give that to you yet."
Joba does have a Ruthian look to him, so it would be appropriate.

Managers, baseball or otherwise, should admit to "my bad" whenever possible. Makes people believe you more often.
