Inconsistency. This is the reason why Hughes needs to go now.
Most 22 years old pitchers are inconsistent with their command. That's hardly a reason he needs to go.
Santana was inconsistent at that age so was, AJ Burnett, Lowe, Peavy, and many others, yet you want us to trade him for those players and then watch him turn to be the next star in this league.
Trading Hughes is the stupidest thing you can do right now. Keep him... the Yankees better not trade this kid.
Eliezer,
You have a great point. When we traded Jeff K. to the Pirates, he almost threw a no hitter and he ended up being there best pitcher.
