Any Advice on Hughson...
Playing in Astrodome, other stadiums are fenway46, Briggs and forbes

yeah, MM can't stand him :)


seriously though, do a search, you'll find plenty of opinion on him - mostly

He's really inconsistent for me. Personally, I've got a grudge against him because he beats me when MM has him going against me, and he beats me when I need a big win from him (for my team, like the other night in game 5! :evil: [url=http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/baseball/stratomatic/atg2/playoffs/boxscore.html?group_id=23232&g_id=987]He couldn't win in Griffith vs. Dave Dravecky[/url]! :evil: :x :o )

Hughson is great anywhere 95% of the time...can throw a stinker in once in awhile tho!

I think he is most effective as your #2 or 3 starter, not in the "Ace" roll...

my .02 :)

Tex is better suited for hitters parks . I've used him in the Dome twice . I learned my lesson , he got lit up like a christmas tree . Now ,only in hitters parks .

Hughson in Candlestick as the Top Dog in the rotation:

14 15 0 264.0 261 117 68 178 3.99 1.25

Team finished 84-78 and Drysdale (#4) and Derringer (#3) were the best SP on the team.

I have right now as my ace in the Dome: at midseason, he's 6-6, 2.97 era. I agree that he's better suited as a 2 or 3. Right now Lolich and Oil Can are a combined 22-13 in comparison.

As the #3 guy in Jack Murphy. Not bad, but he was my worst starter.

Hughson, T. 17 11 1 269.1 303 123 72 179 4.11 1.39

If you are well suited for a hitters park, how can you be a bad choice in a pitchers park? :wink: I can see how there are perhaps better "values", but seems to me that if you are a stud in a hitters park, you are even better in a pitchers park.

Perhaps that is wrong, but makes sense to me! :)

I think the logic here is that Hughson is good in a hitters' park because he has no ballpark home runs. He'd be pretty good in a pitchers' park too, of course, but he gains value in a hitters' because of no BPHR's.
