Luke or Phil?

Postby pjalst » Sun Jun 14, 2009 1:02 pm

I'm in a 12 team, Dynasty 5X5 and looking to add a young arm with upside. Both Luke Hochevar and Phil Hughes are available for pick up. Which one do you feel is the most worthy of picking up and stashing away?

Phil is, he looks to be a long reliever for the Yanks and should log some decent innings for you.

Thanks for the help.

Based on upside, you'd have to go with Hughes, but I would keep an eye on Hochvear. Remember, he was the 1st pick back in '05, so he's got some talent. He's also logged some decent starts his past couple outings.

So to answer your question, I would add Hughes but would watch Hochvear to see if he can continue what he's doing.

Luke H.

The yanks can't handle their staff. They will F with him enough to ruin his confidence.

I disagree, Wang had the rotation spot until he went on DL. The Yankees are giving him enough rope to hang himself before they bring Hughes back in. I think that's the right thing to do. Once Hughes wins the spot I think It's his for good. If Wang keeps it, Hughes will get sent to AAA to log some innings.
