I think I lost it
Let me know if you come across it
Let me know if I let it fall
Along a back road somewhere
Money can't replace it
No memory can erase it
And I know I'm never gonna find
Another one to compare

Perhaps a meeting could be arranged with David Cone. Phil blogs on a fair basis @

You can't expect Hughes to succeed when you have a meathead manager in Joe Girardi and the worst pitching coach in baseball in Dave Eiland. Go get Leo Mazzone and watch this kid win 20 every year.

I think he needs a change of venue, sometimes that kick-starts a career. Take for example Gavin Floyd on the Phillies; too high of expectations and he stunk the joint up. He comes to the ChiSox and is their best pitcher, at least this year.

When he first came up his velocity was in the mid 90's. So Ok now it's lower range, can be release point or other mechanics. BUt lack of command and movement keeps in the minors. It's not over for Phil but he needs to sort of reinvent himself, which it looks like what he is doing (change up) He was a young thrower, now has to learn to be a pitcher. Keep working Phil, it ain't over til it's over.

You have got to be schitting me. I think maybe Cashman wrote this article under a nom de plume. How about giving the kid a full season, healthy, in the rotation before writing him off? Jesus.

This is funnie

Yes. Yes he has. beyachass drank from Pavano's flask. Leo Mazzone?? maybe you need a baseball bat to give you a cavity search. Mazzone done a good job in baltimore right? Punkass beeeyatch.

Sounds like you're familiar with this procedure.
<<maybe you need a baseball bat to give you a cavity search.>>

As for Baltimore's staff, they would suck no matter who was the pitching coach. Hughes actually has talent and if you could ever get your head out of your ****, you would know that.
