He could break down. Over 7 years, he might. There is a much bigger injury risk for pitchers than positional players. So you're paying him 20+ million a year. Then chances are, the yankees got to go pick up an outfielder to replace Melky...Aaron Rowand? another 4 years for 10+ million. Plus the yankees need to pick up some guys for the bullpen. Santana is a great pitcher but his numbers have been slowly declining these last few years. They declined very little but still. Plus people need to give Hughes a chance. People seem to forget that he was the #1 pitching prospect in all of baseball last year. He does need to learn how to finish off hitters, be more efficient with his pitches and work deeper into games but I think people are writing him off too soon. He also was out a good amount of time, preventing him from throwing. I'm sure that had to do something to his arm strength. That could be a reason why his velocity was down slightly last year. He's 21 years old. It was his first year in the majors. He also showed flashes of brillance. I am also very excited to see Dave Eiland begin working with Joba, Hughes, and IPK again. I mean they all did great in AAA with him and I think he will have a big effect on their developement. I'd like to see us stick with the kids and hopefully Andy comes back to be our inning eater/lefty. Bought my shirt earlier today You never know. He could break down. Over 7 years, he might.

Also, I think that baseball people over hype prospects for years with thoughts of trading them....Don't you think Cashman was thinking this deal through in 2005-6? your damn right he was. that whole time he was stashing Joba away while hyping up Phil Hughes..... Sorry for the conspiracy theories, but it MUST have some validity....right? I'll take Johan over Hughes allllll day. remember, Lefties prosper in Yankee stadium because of the large left center. We'll see what happens! I don't know about you, but I'll be happy either way. as long as he doesn't go to the Red Sox....which worries me big time I think Cashman is going to try hard to trade Damon and IPK or Hughes + a tier 2 prospect for Johan with the obvious caveat of paying for a good chunk of Damon’s salary… Also, I think that baseball people over hype prospects for years with thoughts of trading them….Don’t you think Cashman was thinking this deal through in 2005-6? your damn right he was. that whole time he was stashing Joba away while hyping up Phil Hughes…..
