The 2013 season is not off to a promising start for Phil Hughes. The big righty who is looking to have a breakout season in his contract-year is sidelined with a bulging disk in his upper back. Shutdown for a week, Hughes has not gotten back into a throwing program like he thought he would. [...]
If one thing can be said about Ivan Nova over his brief career already, it’s that he is very confident. Confidence in sports is just as important as physical ability.

(Note—most responses were written before Nova’s start on Saturday, but some do reflect his bounce-back effort in Toronto.) How does the saying go? Ball don’t lie. Well, numbers don’t either; and the numbers on Nova the last month-plus are horrific. In fact, with the exception of June, Nova would probably be in Triple-A right now. [...]
