Really? You think they've been aggressive? I don't. I think they've been pretty cautious. He only came out of low-A after dominating it for 4 months to get a taste of high-A for a month. Then, the next year, he started in high-A and dominated for a month before being move to AA. That sounds like very reasonable treatment. To be honest, I'll be upset if Bowden isn't testing his stuff against high-A hitters by the end of this year.
EDIT: Oh, and Hughes is 2" and 5 lbs. bigger. Do you really think that is significant? Both have the type of build you want in a power pitcher.
