Their Phenom Goes
(Note: Another rant by Sip below)
Just caught Phillip Hughes' first start. You know, the phenom the Yankees swore they wouldn't bring up until July or August at the earliest?
Funny how things change after a slow three weeks.
While the box score might not look great (4.1 IP, 4ER, 7hits, 5 K's), the kid looked very good. I didn't see his fastball touching the high 90's like all the scouting reports claimed, but still, he featured a fastball that looked a lot tougher than our boy Mike Pelfrey's.
He made a couple of major league hitters look really, really bad. The one batter he had problems with was Vernon Wells (3 for 3), a perennial all-star candidate.
Curious to see what they do with this guy.
Happy to see that the Bombers are already skipping their $50 million dollar man Kei Igawa's start in the rotation this weekend ($55-60 mil if you count luxury tax).
New Yanks!

It really is a good time to be in the business of hating the Yankees...let's hope it continues
