With the innings limitations the Yankees are sure to impose on Hughes this season, it seems unlikely he'll begin the year as a starter unless someone gets injured. Now that Joba is getting the chain taken off, we'll probably have a fair amount of data to judge him by in the 10-11 off season, as I still think its a bit too early to pass judgment on phil or joba. Ugh, when do pitchers and catchers report? Until we get to some intrasquad games, guess we'll just have to debate that which is not worth debating - phil vs joba.

I agree with the above statement 100%. Either pitcher is more valuable as a starter, which is why I only want them to be developed as such. “Just the next closer, which isn’t nearly as important as a starter.”

Shockingly, I already knew the definition of successor. My point, however, was illuminated by Sean's response. The next closer will be the successor to Mariano's POSITION, but not to his role/value/what he brought to the team over the last 15+ years. Many of the pro-Joba-as-closer folks seem to think if we insert Joba for Mo, we've found a "successor" to the role of Historically Dominant for a Entire Generation Relief Pitcher. Whereas, in fact, there will be no "successor" to that role. Just the next closer, which isn't nearly as important as a starter. Sorry I failed to copy and paste and definitions from Webster's dictionary. Unlike you, I'm going to assume a basic level of intelligence among people reading this and treat them accordingly.

When did Girardi "yank" Hughes in September? And what playoff game was Hughes yanked from that he DIDN'T deserve to be yanked from? Phil sucked in the playoffs. I don't get the need to blame Girardi for that. Yes, it's a small sample, but hand in hand with that you don't have the luxury of a larger sample to let him right the ship.
