Newsbreakers

July 5, 2009

The New York Post is suggesting that the Yankees should find another option other than Phil Hughes to take over for Chien-Ming Wang in the rotation. Hughes has been an anchor in the eighth inning, and he is unscored upon in his last eight outings.

Our View:

With Wang expected to miss a decent amount of time, the Yankees have a decision to make. Hughes has been outstanding in the bullpen, but someone has to start the game. Alfredo Aceves is another option, or the team could call someone up from Triple-A. Stay tuned for a decision.

June 3, 2009

WFAN is reporting that Phil Hughes will be sent to the bullpen to make room in the rotation for Chien-Ming Wang.

Our View:

This is a puzzling decision since the Yankees said only yesterday that this would not be the case. Either way, it appears to be happening now and Hughes will be out of the rotation until an injury to a different Yankees starter or another Wang blowup. If you have an available roster spot, it might make sense to hold on to Hughes, but if not, there is probably little value in keeping him and waiting.

Phil Hughes did not factor into the decision on Sunday in the Yankees' 5-4 loss to the Indians. Hughes went five innings and allowed four runs on five hits while walking one and striking out six.

Our View:

Not a great showing by Hughes today. The six strikeouts in five innings were nice, but the four runs were not so much. Hughes remains a risky fantasy play, but he has the potential to be a good starting pitcher.

May 25, 2009

Phil Hughes improved to 3-2 with eight shutout innings in Monday's 11-1 win over the Rangers. He allowed just four base runners and struck out six.

Our View:

Hughes quieted one of the most powerful offenses in the league today, and the outing figures to keep him in the rotation for now. It was easily his strongest outing of the season, but he did record nine strikeouts in five innings his last time out.

May 20, 2009

Phil Hughes continued his improvement on Wednesday as the Yankees beat the Orioles 11-4. Hughes went five innings and allowed three runs on six hits while walking one and striking out nine.

Our View:

Hughes continues to improve in every outing, and his nine strikeouts tonight were a bit of a shocker. His spot in the rotation is still on pretty thin ice with Chien-Ming Wang close to a return, but his outing tonight may stay his execution for one more start.
