The Kids Aren't Alright

Like a kid on the playground imitating his favorite player's stance, Sheffield, AL coach Chuck Smith obviously takes his cues from the pros, as he told the Florence, AL Times Daily:

Yahoo and the Yanks

Yahoo's Joba Chamberlain fantasy advice (through Rotowire) features our favorite chestnut:

Recommendation: Unlike fellow Yankee Phil Hughes, however, there's no real reason to be concerned about Chamberlain's velocity, as he's reached 96 mph multiple times this season. He believes he's become more of a "pitcher" and less of the throw-as-hard-as-possible "thrower" he was when he was first called up. He has pitched very well at times this year, and although he's also had three shaky outings, he remains the Yankees' first choice in the seventh inning.
