No what is absurd is letting your mind and eyes making you think what you think. If you think he has been bad minus his three bad starts in the beginning of the year then you must 100 percent believe that Phil Hughes is a crappy starter. If you think those 3 first starts actually meant him sucking and you think he’ll continue to suck like that that is ebenm more absurd.

Nonsense. His massive foot injury caught up with him. Just make it stop.

NO everyone should not stop with this topic. The Yankees have Sergio Mitre in the starting rotation and Phil Hughes in the bullpen! DOES ANYBODY ELSE SEE WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS??? Am I the only one who hasn’t gone mad? Winter league is a waste. Hughes is a waste if talent in the bullpen. Who do you want starting- Hughes, Mitre, or Wang. I think any rational person would pick Hughes! I know I would!

My analogy was over the top to prove a point.

Just because a player was good once, whether one year ago or ten, doesn’t mean they deserve playing time of any sort now because of them.

Constructing the roster based on past accomplishments is absurd.

Bernie williams is 40, and those numbers were eight years ago.

Wang is not yet 30, and those numbers were a little over a year ago.

Your analogy is absurd.

This is the first year he’s stunk. Even when he was supposedly healthy, he hasn’t looked mediocre, let alone good.

If Ben thinks that throwing a 2.02 WHIP Wang out there is a better option than seeing what they have in a rehabilitated Mitre, that’s his deal.

Yes, his past accomplishments are splendid and may indicate that he’ll regain that ability, but Bernie Williams has some pretty gaudy past numbers too, but no one’s calling for him to replace Gardner or Melky.

Wang has exactly the same amount of ML quality starts as Mitre does this year. I’m not saying dump Wang, but clearly, at this point he’s no better an option than Sergio Mitre.

Chien Ming Wang hasn’t traditionally stunk, but this year, he has.
