No Go, Nova.

"And still I think he's the one getting kicked to the curb to make room for Phil Hughes.

It doesn't seem fair, especially after Nova earned his eighth win of the season as the Yankees reminded the Mets which team in New York is the hottest, defeating their crosstown rivals, 5-1, Friday night.

But, in truth, there's no easy call for the Yankees to make as they suddenly find themselves with a surplus of starting pitching.

It's a nice problem to have, and it's about the only problem the Yankees have these days.

Still, with Bartolo Colon rejoining the Yankees' starting rotation Saturday and Hughes waiting in the wings, Nova may well have felt like he was pitching Friday night to keep his spot."

Aldo should definitely keep his spot in the rotation. I don't know if Garcia has options to the minors, but it's either that or the bullpen. The benefits of choosing the young player are obvious.
