Future Closer?


The more I see Phil Hughes I think are the Yankees wasting him in the bullpen...or maybe there is a long term plan. Just maybe the Yankees are doing what the Sox did with Jonathan Papelbon.
Joba was suppose to be the closer off the future but as a starter he is doing just fine. It is a tough call; maybe Hughes has the toughness for the bullpen. Brian Bruney lost his set up role and now the way both Phils are pitching (Coke and Hughes) they have been taking that 8th inning role.


It is a long season and a can happen you might need him to start. But he keeps this up keep him in the pen...lights out.

Long term plan for Hughes in the pen sounds smart for the Yankees.
