Cracked Rib?
OK, the Yankees didn't make up Hughes' injury, but how exactly did he go from healthy to having a cracked rib? That leads me to big worries about the Yankees' medical staff, but the bottom line is don't expect to see Hughes again until July.
Of bigger concern is Hughes' history with injuries. His 2005 season was cut short because of injuries and we all know what happened in 2007. Now, he has his 3rd season in 4 years interrupted by injuries. That is a very bad sign for now and the future.
That is something we can worry about another day, for now the Yankees would be wise to start thinking about Joba's transition to the rotation. They might need him there very soon.
Comments
Although they've had some ups and downs, the Yanks do have three guys who can give them quality starts: Wang, Pettite, Mussina. This is not bad as starting rotations go. Just need 2 more guys who are not completely awful like Hughes and Kennedy have been.
The real problem is whether the team can hit. If they don't start hitting in the next month, you can stick a fork in it.

We were just kidding around when we mentioned that Phil the Wunderkind would soon be sporting spectacles like "Wild Thing" Vaughn. Well, under the heading of life imitating art, that's what we'll be seeing on his return, Hughes in spectacles.
OK, so if life imtiates art further, with whose wife will Phil soon sleep - the tabloids want to know !

I just hope he dons the "sleeveless" jacket that made Ricky "feel like a banker"
