This is NOT a big Start for Hughes

Before every Phil Hughes start the various blogs and newspapers want to take note of Phil's progress. Specifically, does he look like an Ace? There is no shortage of these type of stores today;

The Post - Phil is Falling Fast

From Peter Abe - Big Game for Phil

The Daily News - Phil looks to Mow down O's(Actually pretty calm and not overly dramatic)



The truth of the matter is this is not a big start for Phil. He could pitch to a 6 era the rest of the year and still blossom into an ace. We might all be disappointed in the outcome this year but it really is not a death sentence to his future ability to grow into an Ace. It might take two years before we really know what we have in Phil. The question is if it takes that long will he stick around?
