I think Phil Hughes should keep his spot in the rotation.

Kidding!  I'm kidding!

The dream is long over.  Phil Hughes is not a "tease," unless you're teased by mediocre pitchers who throw a good game every month or two.

Phil Hughes is not an effective major league pitcher.  There is not point in discussing his spot in the rotation or his future with the Yankees.  Hughes is #8 on the depth chart as far as I'm concerned ( behind Kuroda, Pettitte, Sabathia, Phelps, Pineda, Nuno, and Nova).

A long time ago, Hughes had a decent season pitching out of the bullpen.  He could probably do that again -- it's an easy job.

He also has enough "stuff" to be a decent major league pitcher ... but he's out of shape, stupid, stubborn, and gutless.
