| | Quote: | NEW YORK -- While Phil Hughes and Ian Kennedy have had their growing pains, Joba Chamberlain has watched from the Yankees' bullpen, lined up to help get the ball to closer Mariano Rivera.
Hank Steinbrenner has also been looking on, and it's a setup that the Yankees' co-chairman wants to change immediately. Steinbrenner told The New York Times on Sunday that the club should move Chamberlain into the rotation as soon as possible.
"I want him as a starter and so does everyone else, including him, and that is what we are working toward and we need him there now," Steinbrenner told the newspaper. "There is no question about it, you don't have a guy with a 100-mile-per-hour fastball and keep him as a setup guy. You just don't do that. You have to be an idiot to do that."
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman responded to Steinbrenner's comments, telling Newsday that no changes are in store for the time being.
"Joba's staying in the bullpen right now," Cashman told the newspaper. "That's where we're at. [Putting him in the rotation is] not something that's going to happen here early on, and [Hank] knows that. We've talked about it. I don't know what set him off."

Yooo, Mr Cashman,
It's in the genes.
("I don't know what set him off.")
