My whole point is that Hughes has yet to do anything to live up to the fairly insane level of hype or the somewhat blind support that he's received as a #2 starter in the most competitive division in baseball. Yankee fans are talking him up as the next big thing, but in reality he's an extreme fly ball pitcher who pitches to contact in general whose home stadium has a tendency of allowing fly balls to gain wings. One home run per 20 plate appearances at home is a shocking number even for Yankee Stadium.
