Joba Will Close if Mo is Injured

Joba Chamberlain would close if Mariano Rivera misses any significant portion of the season. Yankee Officials decided this yesterday. It is kind of ironic considering Mo only needed 11 pitches to get out of his one inning of work against the Pirates. Mariano has 482 career saves in his legendary career. Damaso Marte and Brian Bruney are expected to be the Yankees top choices for the set up role in the 8th inning. Reffering to Brian Bruney a Yankee Official said “Let’s see him handle the 8th inning first”.
