According to the Tampa pitter-patter, Joba Chamberlain wants to close someday, after Mariano Rivera hangs them up.
Of course, he has competition: Phil Hughes.
This spring, one will head north as the fifth starter, and one will be the primary bridge to Mariano -- at least for now.
Hughes gets to throw 150-170 innings this year. Theoretically, Joba could throw more, but not if he's the Bridge to Mariano.
Number 65 vs. Number 62.
This could be a career verson of Sergio Mitre vs. Chad Gaudin.
Bets, anyone?

Joba is a reliever, and so is Phil until he shows he can win a game or two.
