Yes I would like Clemens, but I don't feel he's a necessity.  Read all you can on Phil Hughes.

Has Hughes even pitched outside of A ball yet?

He was in AA last year, struggled at first, then dominated.  AA is considered by some to be a better indicator than AAA since the best of AAA don't stay there very long.

Here's a recent article on him.  Yes, I realize prospects come and go and often amount to nothing, but they're saying he's the best Yankee pitching prospect in 30 years.  Any other team would have him starting this year.  The Yanks are using kid gloves.

Yup, their farm system is turning amazing now and they're going to be great for years to come.

They're still expected to score almost 1000 runs this year and if Pavano gets healthy and Clemens signs with them, hello World Series!!!

Berzerk, Pavano needs a brain transplant to go along with a healthy arm!
