The Yankees will ditch the 'Joba Rules' in 2010, which limited the innings of pitcher Joba Chamberlain.

The Yankees will round out their rotation after a spring competition, according to their pitching coach, Dave Eiland.

"For me to say who's the clear favorite - right now I can't do that," Eiland said Tuesday. "Time will tell. We have interesting guys, and this is going to be fun to watch. Competition brings out the best in guys, and we'll see who pulls ahead of the pack."

Chamberlain and Phil Hughes are the headliners in the competition for the fifth spot in the rotation.
