Obviously if were are comparing Hughes to some of the better pitchers in the game like Lester he doesn't match up. I'm not arguing that.
Going through quick again I don't see where your argument is coming from. Matusz had months with ERAs of 7.50 and 8.10, Bergeson had months with ERAs of 12.19, 11.17 and 6.32, Cecil had months with ERAs of 5.3 and 6.9, Davis had months with ERAs of 6 and 4.74. Not seeing much consistency here.
I'm not getting where you think Hughes pitched his best games against mediocre and injury depleted teams either.
And I know all about Nova. I'm not the biggest Nova fan at all and I'm not expecting him to be great. If he could be a solid 4-5 starter in the bigs I'd be happy.
I guess if you're argument is that other guys ended the season pitching better than Hughes I can't argue. But I don't see how that makes them substantially more consistent. Especially when you look at their ERAs on a monthly basis.
