And that isnt a slight to Buchholz. I think he'll be a fantastic pitcher. But I just think that Hughes will persevere and be the better pitcher over the long haul. Hughes was in the process of doing the same thing Buch was doing in his second start, except his hammy went snap. It took a long time to get back, but once he finally did and got on track (September and on into the playoffs) he was 4-0 with a 2.55ERA. Thats pretty damn good right down to crunch time.
