Comments on: Hughes (and Pavano) take another step http://riveraveblues.com/2008/08/hughes-and-pavano-take-another-step-3484/ A New York Yankees Blog Wed, 15 Feb 2012 04:14:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: A.D. http://riveraveblues.com/2008/08/hughes-and-pavano-take-another-step-3484/#comment-124539 A.D.

Coke has made 1 appearance, Aceves has 3 starts, and in interviews he has said he's adjusting to AAA. Kinda a bit premature to jump on those guys. I mean IPK has dominated at AA and AAA, same with Joba. Horne hasn’t “fizzled” he hasn’t been healthy, he’s had some decent starts at AAA.

He probably will be a #2 starter overall but would be a #3. In terms of 4 & 5 theres IPK, Pettite/Moose coming back, Aceves, someone like Marquez coming back healthy, Zambrano or Milton winning a job, and as always a free agent thats not CC or Sheets He would still be #3 Joba, Wang, Hughes.

My point being is that in my mind, I am starting to temper my excitement and expectations because the struggles from AA to AAA in the Yankee organization seems to expose our pitching prospects moreso than the jump from any other level.

If you are going to TOTALLY write him off we might as well just cut him and move on. Thanks for your help. Oh shoot!

This guy pitched thru A & AA with a 1.35 WHIP & has shown essentially zero command since coming out of Fla. You can say he had TJ surgery, or he had a good year last year, but he was 24 in AA & again pitching to a 1.35 WHIP. Never understood the hype on him. I'm TOTALLY writing him off as a prospect. He was decent trade bait ONCE... not anymore. Horne is a typical example of an over-hyped Yankee prospect.

Many times he was under 10 pitches an inning. I saw Mark pitch in Trenton each home game during his time there and it looked to me like he was on a pitch count rather than an innings count.
