The Fans Want Hughes

About a month ago I asked you guys to let me know who you wanted as the Yankees fifth starter. After a little over 700 votes the fans have spoken: they want Phil Hughes.

It was a very close vote, but Hughes narrowly edged Andy Pettitte. Here are the final results:

Votes%
Phil Hughes30943%
Andy Pettitte29041%
Alfredo Aceves6910%
Other406%
Ian Kennedy 51%

Not surprising how little support there was for Ian Kennedy. He's fallen out of favor with not only the fans, but the team as well.

As most of you know I still think they should sign Pettitte, but it's looking more and more likely that they will go with Hughes and 43% of you will get your wish.

I'd rather simply let Hughes pitch 09 in Scranton and leave him alone.

Sign Sheets or Pettitte, preferably Sheets with Aceves and IPK being 6 and 7 on the depth chart.
