PHIL HUGHES: REVIEWING OUR PROJECTIONS

PHIL HUGHES

• Projected: 17 wins, 3.85 ERA, 206 innings, 184 K's

• 2011: 5 wins, 6.00 ERA, 72 innings, 45 K's

Obviously this prediction was way off. But, you can't predict injury.We all know he suffered from a dead arm and shoulder inflammation that kept him on the shelf from the middle of April to early July.When he came off the DL he went 5-4 with a 4.67 ERA. But coming into the season we all wanted to know if he would incorporate a third pitch, like a change up. As a matter of fact he did. Hughes used his change up 6.6% of the time. That may not sound like a lot, but it is compared to the 3.5% of the time he used it last year. Check out Hughes' Fangraphs numbers HERE. But it looks like Hughes will end up in the bullpen for the remainder of the regular season and at least the first round of the postseason, or he could end up not being on the postseason roster all together. You can check that story out HERE.
