Default Can Burgos be Joba Chamberlain

I see he's back pitching and has thrown a couple of scoreless innings. He was supposed to be what Chamberlain has become for the skanks, overpowering and unhittable. He could be the bullpen help we need and then we can shoot Mota

I am guessing it would be next to impossible for him to be Joba, but in the meantime, what has this kid pitched 3 innings?

Same thing with Hughes.

Granted, from what I've seen, both these kids seem for real, and have just great stuff.

That said, I need to see both as the race tightens, and not pitching against brain dead teams....

How is Joba's movement and secondary pitches?

Yikes..

But just cant help but wonder how long he will last. I cant think of many flamethrowers who have a prolonged career based on solely heat and a slider without having arm issues..

I'd definitely like to see Burgos back in the pen. He was working himself into a pretty good groove before he got sent down.

No way. Joba is Zumaya. Burgos is nowhere near as filthy or polished.

Burgos has good stuff, but he looked for the most part like another Julio Julio time will tell, but I don't see him making much if any impact this year. Smith has struggled at Triple A so who knows what he'll give them in September. Willie Collazo has been flat out great this year out of the Z's pen I'd hope that he'll get a callup in September he's surely earned it.

God, the f*cking Yankees. Two high-potential young PITCHERS in the same season added to their team and making an impact in their pennant race.

Meanwhile, we're still waiting on Pelfrey to grow a set, and Humber to "discover himself" after a year-plus off after surgery.

Makes ya sick, don't it?
