Joakim Soria, meet Joba Chamberlain: Start or relieve?
If Joakim Soria pitched in a bigger market than Kansas City, he'd be a Joba Chamberlain-like star right now.
Check out these numbers:
2007: 69 IP... 75 K... 0.942 WHIP... 2.48 ERA
2008: 13 IP... 15 K... 0.308 WHIP!... 0.00 ERA
And now in Kansas City they're wondering if the Royals would be better off if he started, not relieved. Hmmm, I do believe we've heard that topic debated around here...
On a totally unrelated note, anyone else excited about another new Lost tonight?

Does the Kansas City Star have cute headlines about the Joakim Rules?
I've heard from a number of sources, that Soria is comparable to Rivera. I think it was his delivery, but can't remember.
