I think it will be a big blemish on their track record. My take is that Hughes will go down in history as “The guy the Twins could have had and passed on”.

This year will go a long way to seeing if that philosophy pays off. If it doesn't, i.e., none of the Big Three perform up to expectations, Hank will exert tremendous pressure to revert to old ways.

He thinks the scouting report claims of 96 mph fastball were just typical over hype of a NY prospect. I seem to recall that in near no hitter game against Texas that he was hitting 94-96 pretty regularly. Is pitch by pitch data available on the 'net? I seem to remember some site has a pitch log, and even some scatter graphs showing the range of velocity. I have a running disagreement with a friend over Hughes velocity.
