Who? I went through quick but I found two guys that had better years than Hughes that were 24 or younger - Price and Buchholz. Other guys -
Matusz - 175 IP 4.30 ERA 1.34 WHIP 98 ERA+
Bergeson - 170 IP 4.98 ERA 1.43 WHIP 85 ERA+
Davis - 168 IP 4.07 ERA 1.35 WHIP 97 ERA+
Cecil - 172 IP 4.22 ERA 1.32 WHIP 98 ERA+
Hughes - 176 IP 4.19 ERA 1.24 WHIP 102 ERA+
Like I said, I went through quick so probably missed a guy or two but what about Hughes makes him worse than other 24 year olds in the division. Obviously Price and Buchholz were on another level last year.
I guess unless you are breaking it down to Hughes had two terrible months and other guys didn't. I didn't look that deep into the stats but I'm sure I could find most of these other guys having some terrible months.
