Hoping he pitches well. Had several opportunities to meet him, and he has always respected the game and everyone he comes across.

He's already been way more successful than Taylor, who never even sniffed the majors. People forget that the guy is only 22 and was pitching great before his injury last year. Anytime someone comes back from an injury mid-season, ESPECIALLY a pitcher (not just an arm injury), it'll generally take them an entire off-season to get back to form. Hughes has great stuff despite his shaky season last year, I don't think Yankee fans have anything to worry about.

With that being said, any of you still think it was a good move passing up on Johan for any combination of Hughes/Joba/Kennedy? :oops:

looking back, does it look like a good trade on the twins side? (esp no f-mart)

Yeah well everyone, including the Twins, knew they were getting the short end of the stick on any Santana deal. At the end of the day, they wanted something as opposed to let him walk outright. The fact that the Yankees were unwilling to put together a better package than the Mets mediocre one (and I'm a Mets fan) is what makes me chuckle.

Edwin Jackson was matching Hughes inning for inning.
6 scoreless, then Leyland takes him out and the bullpen lets up 10 runs in one inning.
I wish managers would leave their starters in longer like the good ol' days.

I was very impressed by him tonight, his fastball was great. Really good to see him come back up and have an awesome first start. Now, do we try calling up Kennedy and putting Joba in the pen?

His pitch count was WAY up there, I believe around 120

Melancon with a 1-2-3, too.

A good night for young Yankees pitching.

Jackson looked good, too, but the Yankees are (finally) getting back to their patient ways that they had with Abreu and Giambi. Jackson WAS at 116, even though he only let up 4 hits and a walk. A lot of 3 ball counts.
