Joba and Hughes: Will they go through their careers competing with each other?




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.
