New York Yankees: Useless Hughes
Phil Hughes (Photo credit: alexabboud)
It is no secret that I am not a Phil Hughes fan.
Out of respect I kept my mouth shut over the last three weeks instead of pointing out the obvious that Hughes three wins were against terrible teams, and the Yankees scored 19 runs in those three games combined.
In that back of my mind I marked his start in Anaheim as the game that Hughes would...

Bad outing ruins Phil Hughes’ revival
Going into Monday night’s start Phil Hughes had a good thing going. In his previous four games he had a 2.81 ERA, had been pitching deeper into games, and was showing more pitch-ability than usual.
It didn’t last very long though as he was lit up for six earned runs against the Angels over just 5.1 innings. It was a rough outing. He gave up four runs in the 1st after...

Yankees Fans Love To Hate Phil Hughes
Phil Hughes had a less than acceptable start for the New York Yankees last night against the Los Angeles Angels. In going just 5 1/3 innings he allowed 7 earned runs (one of which can be attributed to reliever Cody Eppley), 11 hits, and struck out 3. To his credit, after allowing 4 runs in the first inning, Hughes was able to fight through the remainder of his outing and actually...

Yankees Game 48 Lineup: 05/28/12
In game one of a three-game set against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, the New York Yankees will send right-hander Phil Hughes to the mound tonight. In his last outing vs. the Royals, Hughes went 6 innings and only gave up a pair of runs to notch his forth win of the season. Hughes is 3-1 with a 2.81 ERA over his last four starts.
Right-hander Jered Weaver (6-1, 2.61 ERA) is...

Phil Hughes still the victim of the home run
Over his last few starts Phil Hughes has really begun to turn his season around, but one thing that has consistently plagued him even as he improves – home runs. Hughes has now given up at least one home run in each start this season, 10 in total, and is on pace to surrender 50 if he can throw 200 innings this season.
On Thursday, Hughes was solid against the Blue Jays. Even...

New York Yankees: Trusting Hughes too soon
Other than the New York Yankees winning their second series in a row over the weekend vs. the Mariners, once again it seems that pitcher Phil Hughes has managed to keep his spot in the starting rotation.
I will be the first to admit that Hughes pitched better in his last two starts, which were against the Royals and the Mariners.
Just so you know all the facts, here are the stats...

Warning: Don't Get Your Phil Hughes Hopes Up

New York Yankees: 2 possibilities to fix Hughes issue
Phil Hughes - crackling picture - 2010
With the news that prize acquisition Michael Pineda might never see the lights in Yankee Stadium from the pitcher’s mound, at least not this season, does leave the team in a bit of a pickle.
Less than a week ago, Pineda was still going to play a big part in the 2012 season.
Personally knowing that Pineda was coming, made enduring each Phil...

Phil Hughes Should Not Be a Starter
If last night was enough, I really think the Yankees need to consider removing Phil Hughes from the starting rotation and put him in the bullpen. I know that all Yankees fans think he’s a legitimate “quality” starter, but the fact of the matter is, he definitely is not! Looking at his stats in 2009 and 2010 were enough for me to base this judgment. At the start...

Yankees are out of Phil Hughes excuses
New York Yankees pitcher Phil Hughes made his second start yesterday afternoon against Los Angeles Angels, and ex-Ranger CJ Wilson.
And Hughes preformed exactly how I thought he would, terribly.

I have received endless criticism from LLP readers about my harsh stance on Hughes not having the stuff to be a starter; and that his 2010 season...
