According to Joel Sherman, it seems as if the Yankees are sold enough on Chad Gaudin to keep Joba in the bullpen for the ALCS. Personally, I'm an advocate of this, the Yanks are 6-0 in Guadin's starts and Joba was unreliable in the rotation down the stretch.
Think about this...
Gaudin gives you five innings of 2 or 3 run ball with 100 pitches thrown (similar to what he's done with the yanks)
You can have Robertson thrown the 6th (best K rate of any pitcher in the AL). Save Marte for any situational lefties. Throw Joba in the 7th, sprinkled in with Phil Coke if necessary. Phil Hughes in the 8th, and Mo in the 9th.
For a team that has relied so much on high priced free agents, that homegrown bullpen (I'm including Marte because he was traded for prospects) looks awfully good huh?
