Hughes to Bullpen?

via Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News suspects that Phil Hughes will be moved to the bullpen.

The Yankees are currently operating with a six-man rotation but plan to cut it back down to five within the next week or so. Hughes has an 8.24 ERA -- by far the worst mark on New York's staff -- and seems likely to get bumped. That is, unless Ivan Nova is knocked around in his next outing.

I think we've seen this coming around the corner for some time. Nova has been more consistent - let's hop the Yanks can get some productivity out of Hughes.
