So DO you have to be an idiot to do that? And, as Brian from New Jersey observed in the post that inspired this chat, who exactly is Hank calling an idiot in the first place? Let's discuss:
THE VERDICT
Sorry, there's no way -- none -- the Yankees can move this man to the rotation right now. How can they take their best pitcher and send him to Scranton to build him up? And who sets up for Rivera if they do that? Who gets (ahem) yanked out of the rotation? If it's Hughes or Kennedy, what does that say about them and their future?
And to be honest, not everybody is even convinced that Chamberlain's best role long-term (let alone short-term) is as a starting pitcher. That's my view. Now it's your turn.
