Yankees manager Joe Girardi told the New York Times that he's slated the team's starting rotation for the entire 162-game season, and that he won't skip Joba Chamberlain's turn.

He has also revealed the team's spring rotation: CC Sabathia, Chien-Ming Wang, A.J. Burnett, Andy Pettitte and Joba Chamberlain.

Assuming that rotation remains as is heading into the regular season, Chamberlain would start the tenth game of the season, which just so happens to be the team's home opener at the new Yankee Stadium.

"I don't really want to give up that, because a lot of things could happen in spring training that could change that," Girardi said. "I can't give that to you yet."
