Joba Chamberlain's velocity dropped as a full-time starter, and his opponents' line-drive percentage soared. It looks like he'll start the season in the bullpen, though, making him Mo's understudy for saves and a better roto asset. He provides promise for a deep mixed staff and is a valuable middle-round AL-only commodity for 'pen K's and ratios; Chamberlain's relief numbers can be more stable than an iffy starter or closer.
