Well, that was fun while it lasted.

When Collin McHugh came up April 22 for his latest stint in the big leagues, this one with his third team, he caught the opposition by surprise. Instead of being the sinkerballer, pitch-to-contact type they had previously scouted, he was a power pitcher, piling up strikeouts with a fastball and slider.

But when he faced the Mariners Sunday, he didn't catch them by surprise. They had seen him once already and, therefore, knew what to expect. And just like that, Collin McHugh went back to being Collin McHugh, allowing six runs (five earned) on eight hits in five innings.

Particularly in mixed leagues, you shouldn't have any reservations about cutting him loose.
