If the Yankees advance to the ALCS, the Yankees plan is to keep Joba Chamberlain in his current role. The Yankees are leaning toward starting Chad Gaudin in a Game 4 rather than Joba.

The Yankees may go with a three-man rotation against the Los Angeles Angels in the AL championship series.
Manager Joe Girardi says the shortened rotation would allow him to keep Joba Chamberlain and Chad Gaudin in the bullpen.

Filip Bondy draws a map surveying the core of the Yankee Universe. "The Yankees have been a brilliant, cohesive unit this season, but really they are three teams masquerading as one."
