Hughes, clearly. But it’s nice to even see the question asked.

I agree with much of what has been said, but I disagree that JoBA will definately have the more spectacular moments— Hughes in a 20 year old prodigy who can be Johan Santana from the right side— the career described above sounds like a Moose type of career— I would diagree and say that I think multiple Cy Youngs and nasty post season performances are in young Phil’s future

I think with his name, charisma, stuff, being on the Yankees- that JOBA could enter the scene like a Vida Blue, Doc Gooden, Fernandomania type of phenomena

will be interesting to see how this plays out next year… and why do I get the feeling WANG will take the ball quietly every 5th day and win 18-20 games a year during the prime of his career and be the forgotten ACE

He is #9, if you want to see it someone posted it illegally over at minorleagueball.com in the diaries

As for that question I posted in the comments and said pretty much the exact same thing as you Mike. Joba will probably have the best 3 years of the bunch but Hughes will probably have a more solid and steady career

Baseball America just posted their midseason top 25 prospects. Hughes graduated from the list, and Joba is already #9!
