As His Innings Mount, Hughes Will Skip Start
By BEN SHPIGEL
Published: June 21, 2010
Phil Hughes is a victim of his own success. By pitching so well this season,
by logging so many innings, Hughes has accelerated the Yankees’ preservation
plan for him. They will skip his scheduled start Friday in Los Angeles to
give him three more starts before the All-Star break instead of four.
His next start will come June 29 at Yankee Stadium against Seattle.
“This is a hard guy to sit and miss a start, just because of how well he’s
pitching for us,” Manager Joe Girardi said before the Yankees’ game Monday
night against Arizona. “We can’t be short-sighted. We have to think of this
year, and we also have to think of his future and not hurt this kid. Starters
are not easy to develop, and it takes time. We want to make sure that we have
him for a long time.”
Ever since Hughes won a rotation spot in spring training, the Yankees have
been devising a plan for him. As they did with Joba Chamberlain, they are
monitoring Hughes’s innings so he will not throw too many this year.
Significant increases often make young pitchers like Hughes, 23, vulnerable
to injury or a drop-off in performance the following year. Hughes has
exceeded the Yankees’ expectations this season, going 10-1 with a 3.17
earned run average, but he has pitched 82 1/3 innings across his 13 starts —
an average of six and a third innings per start.
If he were to continue on that pace without extra rest, Hughes would demolish
his professional season high of 146 innings in 2006.
“It’s hard for anybody to predict whether they’ll need it or not,” Hughes
said of the extra rest. “Some guys obviously didn’t. Nolan Ryan didn’t
need an innings limit. But some guys did. It’s impossible for me to say
whether I do or not. But I mean, they’re being on the safe side and I
respect that because they obviously have my best interests in mind. Anytime
an organization does that, you’re on board with it.”
Hughes, a native of Orange County, Calif., acknowledged that he was a bit
disappointed that he would not pitch in front of family Friday night at
Dodger Stadium. But he said he had been keeping track of his innings and knew
a break was coming. He said he was not worried that going nine days between
starts would disrupt his rhythm.
“It’s not like I came out of the gates and I was struggling and this is
going to be a setback for me,” he said. “I don’t really view having a
couple of extra days off as being a setback. I don’t believe that. I think I
’m going to take the approach of taking advantage of the extra rest and
hopefully be strong in my next start.”
The Yankees will not publicly disclose their innings expectations for Hughes,
who said he had not asked and did not want to know. It is believed to be in
the range of 170 to 175 innings.
As the first concession, Hughes did not make his first start until April 15,
nine games into the season. In the second half, there are not many obvious
opportunities to manipulate the rotation — no more off days bookending a
series, as is the case this weekend — but the Yankees can maximize his rest
during the All-Star break by giving him the fifth start afterward.
Hughes has the credentials to pitch in the All-Star Game, scheduled for July
13, and this decision will have no bearing on his eligibility or
participation.
“We might have to skip again,” Girardi said. “But as I told him, maybe you
’re fortunate enough to pitch in games when we get huge leads and I don’t
have to throw you seven or eight innings.”
There are similarities between the Yankees’ handling of Hughes and
Chamberlain, but there is an important distinction, too. The Yankees
restricted Chamberlain, beginning in 2007, because he had never pitched a
full season as a starter.
To limit Chamberlain’s innings in 2008, the Yankees had him begin the season
as a reliever, and last season they were forced to fine-tune his program when
injuries cropped up. They revised his schedule to include abbreviated starts
— three or four innings — which created an awkward situation.
Even though injuries shortened his seasons in 2007 and 2008, Hughes came up
as a starter. He pitched 105 1/3 regular-season innings last year, mostly in
relief, but the Yankees know he has a starter’s base to draw from.
“It’s a great problem and I hope it continues, because that means he’s
pitching well if he’s pitching seven innings and into the eighth most of the
time,” Girardi said. “I hope that problem continues and we’ll adjust from
there.”
