The "Joba Rules" stuff seems kinda stupid in retrospect if he's not gonna start.

Makes no sense at all to have Hughes the 5th starter. Joba was finally ready to take the next step and actually pitch a full season without restrictions and limits and everything and they decide to stick him in the bullpen. Yankees have handled both of them so terrible its not even funny. Now they get to deal with an innings limit for Hughes this year.
If they made this decision after giving Joba a chance this year I could understand, but not when he is finally able to pitch 200 innings.
