Comments on: Guess who doesn’t have an innings limit anymore http://riveraveblues.com/2009/11/guess-who-doesnt-have-an-innings-limit-anymore-19897/ A New York Yankees Blog Wed, 15 Feb 2012 06:34:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Greg Corcoran http://riveraveblues.com/2009/11/guess-who-doesnt-have-an-innings-limit-anymore-19897/#comment-705224 Greg Corcoran Sat, 05 Dec 2009 23:53:53 +0000 http://riveraveblues.com/?p=19897#comment-705224 You guys need to relax!!! Hughes is 23 years old, and Joba is 24! Still a 2 years away from the prime of their career (especially Hughes). Yankees fans are panicking as if the world is going to end if Joba and Phil don't have ERA's under 4 this year. My prediction, Joba will have an under 4 ERA this year. Phil maybe not, but he will be effective as a starter. These guys are only going to get better, and once they find a formula for success they are going to continually succeed. John Lackey, the top FA pitcher on the market right now, didn't have a full season at an under 4 ERA until he was 26!!! Some guys take longer to fully develop. Hughes and Joba's arm and control are going to get better in the next 2 years. Experience is going to serve them well. Also, Phil hasn't been back to the rotation since he started relieving. Maybe some of that success in the relief role can translate into a starting role. He knows how to get major league hitters out now! Trading either of these guys would be a MAJOR mistake for one year of Halladay. I am of the opinion that they could get Halladay without parting with either of them though. You guys need to relax!!!

How is anyone excited about him starting after what he did in the 2nd half is beyond me. The guy is an elite reliever and a below avg starter. The thing is his fastball is a much different while starting. its not even cause for debate. it sits at 91. When relieving it is electric. its 97mph. hes a totally different pitcher.
