Maxman Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I am not sure what Ike Davis has to do with this but since his name was brought up I will say that Phil Hughes will have a much better career as a major league pitcher than Ike Davis will.

madmikeisback Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 4.97 ERA lifetime as a starter and 1.368 WHIP hardly qualify as good. They don't even qualify as average. Keep throwing the word "peripheral" around without substance and you look foolish. Hector and I already posted Hughes' numbers to League average last year in this thread. Turn him back to a reliever where he actually performed, and lessened his chance of injury. Nothing but wishing by you in this thread. The only "substance" you're posting is his ERA over and over again which is a flawed stat. By every other measure he's been a good starter. I know that won't change your spewing of stupidity but it's the reality of what the kid as been in his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real question is, will Hughes be better than Ike Davis' dad as a pitcher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Never said "give up" on him. Relief seems to be better suited to him. His numbers are far better in that role. Don't know if he has the temperament to be a closer. BTW-we missed you this weekend. Sorry for the short notice. We couldn't go, wish we could have given everyone more of a heads up. Little Larry had shin splints. The 2nd half of this season will go a long way towards saying what the Yankees will do with Hughes down the road. I think it will be starter, I really love his upside.

OK, I'll take on the task (once again). For AL pitchers with 150+ IP last year, here are the league averages: K/9 - 6.71 BB/9 - 2.87 HR/9 - 0.950 FIP - 4.02 xFIP - 4.07 WAR - 2.99 Here are Hughes' numbers: K/9 - 7.45 BB/9 - 2.96 HR/9 - 1.28 FIP - 4.25 xFIP - 4.13 WAR - 2.4 As I already stated, only his K/9 was better than the league average. His BABIP and strand rates were also favorable compared to the league and his career averages. Unless you're counting run support (a whopping 9.6 per game, by far most in the AL), what "peripherals" suggest Hughes was anything more than an average pitcher over the entire 2010 season?

Jets Voice of Reason Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Nova down, Hughes up.... He'll be back. Nova got the short end of the stick mostly because he still has the options and they don't want to go with a 6-man rotation. Pitching surplus is rarely if ever a bad thing, especially when we have to two guys in their mid-30s with durability issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My apologies. Since the All Star break of last year, he's 9-8 with an ERA approaching 8.00, along with a mystery ailment that no one in the medical profession seems to be able to pinpoint.

Maybe "garbage" is a bit much. How about "refuse"? Adding this year into last year to slant the stats makes no sense. If he throws 84mph his career will be over. Last year he was a 24 year old that threw in the 90's. Now that he is a 25 year old that throws in the 90's I like his chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
