Hughes has to be worth something or else the Yankees wouldn't have protected him the way that did; virtually unprecedented. He essentially is the next Clemens. And Matsuzaka has pitched quite a bit in Japan, his young arm has seen alot of action, which may be bad in the long run, but he has experience. I think he should transition well, like Matsui or, for a throwback, Nomo and his deadly slider compared to Matsuzaka's gyroball.
