Phil Hughes expected to receive Yankee Academy Award for Best Fifth Starter


The voting's been tabulated, and the winner is known only to Price-Waterhouse and Joe Girardi, but Yankee fans may learn today who has won the coveted Yankee Fifth Starter award.

The 92nd season of Yankee pageantry and ceremonies, to begin next week, has brought a sterling list of nominees, including Chad Gaudin (currently on location in Austrailia), Sergio Mitre, Joba Chamberlain, Alfredo Aceves, Phil Hughes -- the favorite --and Mickey Rourke (right).

The famous Blue Carpet will extend through downtown Tampa later today, and a host of former fifth starters -- including Wally Whitehurst, Andy Hawkins and Bob Shirley -- is expected to be one hand for the presentation. The actual fifth starter might not appear with the team until April 30.
