Work In Progress

Joba Chamberlain may not have been perfect last night, but Jorge Posada liked his work.

“It was very good,” Posada told Peter Abraham in the Journal News. “He threw all his pitches and did a lot of things well. That’s what we wanted to see.”

Chamberlain worked six innings and gave up only one run. But Houston did steal four bases when he had trouble holding runners close.

“That’s going to come in time,” Posada said. “It’s just something we have to work on.”

Joe Girardi put it in perspective.

“Joba’s a work in progress just like the rest of us.”
