The Yankees plan to use Joba Chamberlain more liberally this season, no matter what role he serves for the club.

We may finally bare witness to the end of the "Joba Rules" in the Bronx. "He's just going to go out and pitch and he'll be the one who'll dictate when he comes out as far as getting hit or getting tired or losing his stuff," pitching coach Dave Eiland said Tuesday. Chamberlain is set to battle for a rotation spot this spring with fellow right-hander Phil Hughes.
