Cashman on Hughes: He’s a starter
We all know that the Yankees now have seven starters for five rotation spots, but which five they will go with has all been speculation at this point.
I think most people feel the way I do, that Freddy Garcia pitched better than A.J. Burnett and Phil Hughes last year and the No. 5 spot should be his to lose. Burnett though feels like he will be in the rotation next season though...

No wonder everyone wants to be a New York Yankee, as who wouldn’t want a boss that hands out half-million dollar raises based on poor performance due to laziness?
You can be sure Phil Hughes isn’t complaining.
Last season, Hughes showed up to Spring Training out of shape, and sat on the DL with shoulder and back...

Hughes: I’m Not a Prospect Anymore
The Yankees have been counting on Phil Hughes to emerge since 2007 and for a stretch from 2009 through part of 2010 he looked real good. Something happened along the way though and Hughes got complacent and he showed up to camp last year out of shape, a move that is not OK for a 25-year-old pitcher.
Apparently he realizes that his time is running out.
“I’m at a point where...
