Gaudin Announced 4th Starter

Found October 08, 2009 on The Evil Empire:
PLAYERS: Chad Gaudin,  Joba Chamberlain
TEAMS: New York Yankees

91618107

From Joel Sherman:

Should the Yankees advance to the ALCS, they are leaning heavily toward using Chad Gaudin rather than Joba Chamberlain as the Game 4 starter, The Post has learned.

The Yankees would not finalize plans unless they beat Minnesota. But in informal planning sessions there is a growing consensus to keep Chamberlain in the pen throughout the playoffs.

Sherman also says that if the Yankees were to sweep the Twins, they could go with three starters in the league championship series, with CC Sabathia pitching one of his games on short rest.

I agree with the above. The pen is going to come in handy. Starters can go 6+ and the pen can take off from there. As of this point Gaudin has been throwing the ball better than Joba but Chamberlain gives the pen more strength and he's more valuable in that role. Like he said he doesn't have to think much just blow batters away.

Gaudin would start in ALCS

Via Yanks Go Yard  |  October 08, 2009
If the Yanks make it to the ALCS, Chad Gaudin would be the Game 4 starter as opposed the Joba. Although no plans have been set in stone (and won’t be until the team wins the ALDS), team officials said Joba would stay in the ‘pen with Gaudin getting the start.

Joba Will Be On The ALDS Roster

Via Sliding Into Home  |  October 07, 2009
According to Erik Boland of Newsday, Joe Girardi said that Joba Chamberlain will be on the Yankees' ALDS roster."We anticipate using him anywhere from one inning to a couple of hitters to if we need distance, we can use him there as well," said Girardi, who added that a determination of a 10- or 11-man staff hadn't been decided.If it were up to me, which is obviously...

Joba in the Seventh

Via Baseball Musings  |  October 09, 2009
Joba Chamberlain starts the seventh and gets the first two batters before giving up a hit to Joe Mauer. Girardi takes him out at that point, making me wonder if Joba is on a pitch count. For those of you wondering where Joba’s velocity went this year, he was hitting 95 or better [...]

I like Gaudin Starting over Joba for Championship Series

Via Yankees Daily  |  October 08, 2009
I like the fact that if the New York Yankees make it to the ALCS, Joe Girardi is going to start Gaudin instead of Joba Chamberlain. Again, Joe Girardi is using common sense. He knows that Joba hasn’t been consistent especially towards the end of September. If you look at Joba’s box score lines, it doesn’t [...]

New York Yankee Players I Like and Dislike

Via Yankees Daily  |  October 08, 2009
Some people in the past either on this blog or on other Yankee blogs have accused me of not liking the Yankees. That’s ridiculous. There are “players” I don’t like but that’s because I feel they’re not representing my Yankees like they should whether by their play or by their reputation. Yankees I dislike Joba Chamberlain the [...]

Two Huskers in MLB Playoffs
