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.

I agree it will be a disappointment if Bowden doesn't get a High A cup of coffee this year. Also I have heard that Hughes is much bigger than he is listed at and is in the 230-240 range. Bowden I think is now up between 220 and 225 still great size for a starting pitcher.
