After all the negativity surrounding him this year, it's best for the kid to go out on a high note and enter the off-season feeling good about himself and his ability. Yesterday's result shows that he DOES have talent and that, although success at the MLB level is not guaranteed, the Yanks are not fools for believing in Hughes's ability. As for the final 19 games, the Yanks should simply endeavor to lose them all. Since it's a foregone conclusion that the Yankees will stupidly overspend in free agency, they may as well finish in the bottom 15 and protect their first round draft pick. Finally, who cares if they finish in 3rd or 4th place? Does 3rd place provide you with THAT much more dignity and a sense of accomplishment? It's irrelevant.
