Maybe but if Hughes doesn't match Santana's success for the next 5 to 6 years and Melky Cabrera remains OK...I'm thinking it was a mistake.
I remain skeptical about the future of Yankee prospects, I almost get the feeling they parade them through the minors quickly and talk them up to give them the appearance they are destined for greatness.
