I think people undervalue Hughes. He pitches in the best division in baseball. He will kill if he goes to the NL. Sure, he is not the next best thing since slice bread but I think he is a good #3. How many other pitcher that were good until they came to NY? Can you say Pavano and Vasquez?
Hughes is like Swisher.
Good dude.
Productive player.
Crap postseason.
Not worth the market price in years or money.
Please, oh PLEASE let Pavano go to the Sawks. I would enjoy nothing more than watching the Yanks face him while in a Bawstun uni, I would LOVE to see this bonehead move.
Hughes pitched two winnable games in the postseason, it was our offense that made him lose them.
Fact. And the same goes for almost every starter pitching in the postseason. If the offense was mediocre we would have won those games. They couldn't even get to that level.

I agree, but this is the make or break year for Hughes. He needs to put up or shut up...he is past the bullpen and finally healthy, he needs to show what his true potential is this year to warrant staying.
More like 3 or 4, he was just injured most of the time. Whenever he did pitch though, he wasn't anything special. I know though, it's the whole AL East vs. NL west debate again.

Right, I think the most he gave up was 2 or 3 runs in one start.
