Welcome Back Don: Yankees vs Dodgers (6/18/13)
Â

Hughes has been hot and cold all year, and his last outing against Oakland would certainly be in the cold category. He threw 95 pitches and lasted just 4 1...

Until now, I have not addressed the obvious fact that Phil Hughes should tag along when Chamberlain leaves the Yankees. After last night, however, it is obvious that the two should hop a plane...

Yankeetorial: It's time for the Yankees to ask that essential philosophical question: What could we get for Phil Hughes?
Have you noticed that looming funnel of dark clouds on the western horizon - the one with the cow swirling around, next to the green-skinned lady on the bicycle? That's the MLB trade deadline. It's headed our way. And this year, the Yankees face a unique situation - for the Yankees anyway: Because of all our injuries, we have too many players. And a couple might interest...

Is Phil Hughes working on the big contract next year with the Dodgers?
If so, more power to him.Listen: I have no problem with Yankees having big contract years, and then sticking it to the team, considering the organizational policy of refusing to negotiate in the middle of a pact. The Yankees can't have it both ways. But if Phil Phranchise finally puts together the career year, the season that vaults him into the top tier - where he was originally...

It is no secret that I am always ready to pounce on New York Yankees pitcher Phil Hughes for a poor outing.

Regardless, I always give credit when credit...
