Phil Hughes

Putting aside the half million buxx he lost between the cushions for a moment (although, feel free to talk about that), can somebody explain to me where that season came from? It's not just that he set a record for SO/BB ratio, it's that... well, look at his numbers over his career: 2007: 2.00 2008: 1.53 2009: 3.43 2010: 2.52 2011: 1.74 2012: 3.59 2013: 2.88 2014: 11.63 It's like boys escape from Yankee Stadium III, boys stop being afraid to throw strikes. Except... it's like that and so much more.

can imagine the LolMets tongue lashings? Though I'm sure they exist in corners of Yankee fandom. good for him. He always had potential. That's crazy good though. crazy good.

I suspect the Twins will hand over the bonus money.

Twins offer, Hughes turn it down. btw, unreported, at least to me, until I looked it up.. the previous leader in K/BB was a Met. guess who?

Sheesh, he earned that money and he should be gobbling it up. If he feels ambiguous about it, he can donate it. There's being big and being shortsighted. Be generous with your waiter, not with your extremely wealthy employer.

I looked up the all-time single season K/BB ratio rates. There are three Mets seasons in the top 100 -- the guy who used to hold the record until Phil Hughes's season (he's now ranked #2), and two others (ranked #49 and #88).
