Gassed

We'd like to give the Gas Face to all the writers and pundits who criticized Brian Cashman for not giving up Melky Cabrera or Ian Kennedy to get Eric Gagne. Once again, Cashman proved the know-nothings wrong by refusing the trade and bringing up Joba Chamberlain instead. Want proof? How about last night. While Gagne was getting smacked around like the ex-superstar he is by the Baltimore Orioles, Joba was making the Indians look like small children facing a giant. Joba - 2 innings, 4 strikeouts, Gagne - 1 inning, 4 runs - Cashman wins again!

joba is certainly impressive right now and gagne hasnt been too effective but lets remember what i always post in your comments...you can never take a player/team's temperture when it is too hot or cold. joba is new to batters and they havent had much of a taste or scouting report on him. look cross town and check out what joe smith did when he was first brought up, went about 22 scoreless innings and then went back to a pumpkin. joba has a bright future but lets not get ahead of ourselves just yet. i think gagne will also fix any issues and get in a nice groove fairly soon.
