And if the postseason has taught us anything, it's that Phil Hughes needs to be starting next year, no matter what. Whether they wanna send him back to Scranton or flip/flop roles between him and Joba, he needs to be starting. Lets not forget what he's supposed be. It's time for him to start living up to all the hype he's gotten since being drafted and justify not being traded for Santana.

I completely agree with this. I want Phil Hughes starting next year.

EDIT: Because, it's also worth noting that before Wang came back, Hughes was definitely starting to throw the ball better. And before someone jumps all over that statement by posting his line in his last start of the year at Cleveland, if you go back and watch the game, you'll see that his line was not indicative of how well he was pitching. There were a number of soft hits, and a misplay by Gardner that led directly to a run.
