Have you seen the Yankees play before. They wear the pinstripes with the NY interlocked on their caps. Win anyway anyhow. He's doing exactly what you want a 5th start to do.

Are you serious? This team took off once one thing happened. Hughes stabilized the pen. Now the stat geeks can denegrate the value of the pen but common sense dictates otherwise.

Why not try to get better? Why keep the status quo? Just because we are winning the games hes starting doesnt mean hes doing a good job.

Leave Aceves where has been good all year and the team needs him most. You mean to tell me they can't find a capable back end starter? Really? Why reinvent the wheel?

That wouldn't translate well to a releiver. I'd give him a few more starts as long as he pitches the way he has been. I don't think his WHIP and ERA and lack of length tell the whole story. He's given up a lot of hits but they've mostly been singles and he has recorded a lot of double plays. Giradi also has had a quick hook with him. The most pitches he's thrown in a game so far is 92 and two of his starts he's thrown 75 pitches or less. For example, in his second start, he had given up 3 runs entering the 6th (only 1 after the rough 1st inning) and Girardi yanked him after he gave up a leadoff single despite a pitch count of only 74. He was charged with a run when Coke gave up a 2R HR in the inning. The early hooks and the bad first innings make for an ugly ERA but in most of his starts he's kept the team in the game which I think is all you can really expect from a fifth starter. And maybe with a few more starts, he can get past his first inning jitters.
