Phil Hughes had the best spring of any Yankee starter -- a 1.56 ERA -- but so far hasn't carried that into the regular season. "I felt really good with my stuff in the spring and it hasn't gone exactly the way I would have liked so far," said Hughes, 1-2 with a 6.75 ERA coming into Wednesday night's start.
