The Idiot File, Steinbrenner II Contributes His Infinite Widsom: Thinks Joba Should Start…
Ah, Hank — you’re making life great for baseball fans in general. If George got he angry or wanted to speak, he at least had a point; this kid just speaks off the cuff.
Here’s his latest rant, and he wants Joba Chamberlain to start…
“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,� said Steinbrenner. “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.�
This dude is trying to be like good, old dad. Hank, you have to realize, there’s a reason why Cashman was hired — to run a baseball team.
For Christ’s sake, Hank. We are only twenty games into the season, and Joba seems to be doing just fine as a setup man. How do you his success with translate into the starting rotation? So when he gives up his first three-run homer, will you call him a fat toad?
Hank, just shut up and let your baseball people do their job.
