Major League Baseball's offseason is famous for its high-priced free agent signings and blockbuster trades.
General managers are on the phone 24/7 trying to put together the perfect roster for the upcoming season.
However, the New York Yankees have one glaring issue that needs a solution.
Phil Hughes and Joba Chamberlain both burst onto the scene in 2007.
Hughes came in as the second youngest player in the American League in late April and...

I had a thought that kind of evolved a few days ago and I thought I might share it here. I warn you before venturing further, that the following is not quite a polemical dissertation on the Joba Chamberlain debate, but on the other hand it may require a winding and obtuse journey to connect [...]

Joba Chamberlain has one wish for this holiday season: a Yankees 2010 rotation that includes Andy Pettitte.
Chamberlain spoke to a few reporters yesterday at Madison Square Garden, as he attended the New Yorkers For Children’s “Wrap and Rap” event, helping wrap holiday gifts for foster children in the metropolitan area. The topics of conversation were pretty predictable - no, he hasn’t been told whether he’ll be a starter or a reliever yet...

Joba Chamberlain should be the answer to New York's dearth of starters and relievers, the operative word being 'should.' His regression this season is a gigantic question mark the Yankees can't afford, Scott Miller says.

- Joba Chamberlian's Mom -- Guilty (blogger.com)
Chamberlain grew up in Lincoln, Nebraska. At age 3, his parents divorced, and his father Harlan, a counselor at the Nebraska State Penitentiary, took custody of Joba and his older sister Tasha. The family lived in poverty, with Harlan often selling his possessions for cash to buy things for the children. Joba served as a ball boy for Lincoln Northeast High School's state championship basketball team, and eventually graduated from Northeast. He did not jump straight to college; to help pay the bills, Joba briefly worked for the city of Lincoln's maintenance department.
Chamberlain's father was born on a reservation for the Winnebago American Indian Tribe, but had to leave to be treated for polio. Harlan spent his childhood in hospitals and foster homes and now uses a motor scooter to get around. After retiring from the state penitentiary, he currently works as a substitute teacher and takes tickets at Cornhusker baseball games. Chamberlain still has family living on American Indian reservations.
According to Yankees television sportscaster Michael Kay, Joba's niece was unable to pronounce the name Justin correctly, pronouncing it as Joba instead and he grew to prefer this name. He eventually had his name legally changed to Joba.
In April 2006 Joba became a father when his son, Karter, was born.
