I know I'm a little late with this post but I've been reading some of the commentary on Joba's start and people seem to be getting a little bit to excited over what he did last night. Its a huge improvement of course and it was a solid start but consider this; Chad Gaudin has been that good or better in his past three starts. its to early to say anything with finality on this topic yet but right now it definitely looks like Chad Gaudin has a clear edge in the battle to be the #4 guy. I hope the Yankees make the right decision to, rather then just going with the guy with the best reputation.
