Will Joba Chamberlain be converted into a starter?

I dont think so. Joba Chamberlain is one of the best young prospects the Yankees have seen in a while, theres no doubting that. However, I personally dont believe Joba has the stamina to become a full time starter. In my opinion, Joba should be a full time set-up man to Mariano Rivera. When Mo retires, Joba should be the Yankees closer. He's got the potential, the determination, and the power to become the successor to the great Mariano Rivera. Who knows? Maybe in a few years we'll be saying the Great Joba.
