Phil looked good.

Phil Hughes had a strong outing yesterday holding the Blue Jays to three runs in seven innings. That is on today's standards a quality start. Just what you need from your number three starter. So for all of those critics out there, take a look at what we can expect from our number three guy. Now, I know what you're thinking what about after your first three starters. What do the Yankees have? well the answer to that is Ivan Nova for number four. Yes he is a rookie, yes he needs to prove him self, and yes he does not have a track record, yet. But what he does have is poise, courage and most importantly GOOD stuff. Think about who the Red Sox have as their number four starter. They just demoted Josh Becket to that spot, and when you think of Josh Becket you think, yes he does have a track record and a good one, but he also have a track record of injuries. Can they really rely on him, who knows. So at the end of the day I don't know if that's really a big advantage over the Yankees. Now the way I look at it all my fellow Yankees fans out there, by the time the season get ready to start in just a few days from now, the Yankees will have a starting rotation ready to compete just like any other one in the league.
