    I was hoping they would send Claiborne down or get rid of Joba...

    Actually I'm okay with Claiborne who had his first bad outing in over a month yesterday. But Joba, this clown really needs to find a new home. And his oh well expressions after giving up big hits or worse yet HRs makes me want to see someone deck the fat bastard. If he's wearing pinstripes next season Cashman definitely should be fired.

    Joba is a goner after this season. Why he is even on this team right now is a huge question mark. He has no role in the bullpen.

    I had hopes for Adams when he came up, did well for a while, then faded. That being said give someone else a chance, the way this team is going they might as well check all options. At far as "Jobber" goes they can send him to Port Authority to ride out on a dog anytime.

    There's hope for Hughes as long as he gets signed by a team with a pitchers friendly park (San Francisco) But Joba, I really don't know if ANY team will give this guy a shot.

    Giradi should put Betances in there as soon as possible to get his feet wet. Maybe the Yanks have a good solid reliever who can put out fires. The sooner we see him in action,,,the sooner he'll show what he can and can't do.

    Joba will get signed by someone for sure. My bet is he will do great and be the pitcher we always waited to see.

    Honestly I just don't think its all about pitching in NY. Or even the Joba rules bullshit which obviously screwed him up. To add to this guys whoa's I think he's also just a mental midget. JMO.

    There's no reason to "get rid" of guys at this point, just play it out and let them walk, I'm sure they've been on waivers without a nibble so whatever.

    And Dellin has some great numbers as a reliever, it would be huge if he turned out to be the real deal in that role, after it was a given he would be mowing lawns for a living next year.
