'Switch-Pitcher' Gets Four Outs For YankeesPat Venditte showed off both arms for the Yankees against the Braves on Tuesday, allowing one run in 1 1/3 innings. "I understand where it's coming from," said Venditte, acknowledging why people are intrigued by him. "And it's my job to go out there and prove that I can pitch." Venditte switched back and forth, depending on whether he was facing a righty or lefty. "I think I have to," he said. "I don't have overpowering stuff from either side, so I think I really need this."

"He's in the bullpen, and he's there to stay, period," Eiland said in an effort to end constant speculation. Eiland admitted the final decision is not his alone, but doesn't expect Chamberlain to start at all this season. "We will not bring him out of the bullpen to start this year," Eiland said. "There's people above me that can override my decision, but as far as I'm concerned that's where he's going to be."

Chamberlain will start the 2010 season as a reliever. The Yankees awarded the fifth spot in their starting rotation to Phil Hughes last week. Cashman said his focus is on this season and that there have been no decisions made on Chamberlain's status for 2011. "We haven't had any team meetings and said 'alright, he's a reliever for the rest of his life.' No we didn't do that," Cashman said. "Essentially, though, I think what the mindset has got to be, he's not going to help us in our rotation right now because we picked five guys. His role on the club is to help us out of the pen."
