I've only heard of all of the hype around Hughes, never really saw him in action till he came up to the majors. Why was he so hyped for? His stuff isn't that electric, I don't see him being a dominant ace in the majors.. granted he is only 21 years old, I just don't see what sets him apart from other prospects.

Name a younger pitcher in baseball? Okay I'll save you the time, because he IS the youngest. He should still be in AAA developing his changeup (the same change that got Teixeira swinging on 3 straight in his no hit bit). He has absolute pinpoint control when 100% healthy and on top of his game. Most 28-35 year old pitchers can't say that, none the less 20-21 year olds. He is ridiculously advanced for his age. Youngest pitcher in baseball coming off 3 months of injuries (a torn hammy and an ankle injury that put him in a cast) pitching for the NY Yankees in a heated pennant race. And what, you want a 3.5 ERA immediately? His peripherals are amazing, from H/IP to his WHIP and BAA. Once he uses the offseason to build his legs back up, you will see the 93 mph fastball with PERFECT location, the sharp curve (he isn't getting the right push with his legs right now, and his curve is a bit more "loopy") and he can work on that change. Then get back to me on what you expect from him. He has a great great future in this league.

I read the same thing. They are the one and only scout/executive I have ever heard say that about Hughes.

[ReggieFULLeffect]

The KID has been more than serviceable in his rookie season. What more can you ask for? Especially since he was rushed back from injury...

[VinnyTheMick]

why dont people make game thread immediately after the last game ended?
