I think the odds of Hughes getting dealt remain solid although not close to 100 percent. He looks tremendous and may very well be pitching in the big leagues by the time he turns 21. On the other hand,  his trade value is extremely high, quite simply because he's the best pitching prospect in the minors with all due respect to Homer Bailey, Matt Garza, and perhaps Jered Weaver. His inclusion in a trade could get the Yankees a very good pitcher, one who has already been pitching in the majors for a while. They're not crazy if they decide to trade Hughes as long as the player they acquire is a useful, valuable player that they intend to keep for a while.

Of course, wait and see as the Yankees inexplicably are able to acquire a good pitcher despite trading nothing of actual value. It'll be something like the Randy Johnson trade all over  again, something that'll make you say, "Was Bud threatening to close the franchise down if they didn't agree to that trade?"

over 100 pitches now so I doubt he continues.

Gave up a leadoff double, GB to 2nd.  Runner to 3rd.  Strikeout looking before a groundball to end the inning.

I'd say he's adjusted well and a nice birthday gift for himself since he's turning 20 tomorrow.

This year aint half bad either with Sanchez and Jurrens.

I think Hughes has a good cance to make it to the bigs and be that homegrown stud the Yanks have wanted for years.

Vechionacci and Nunez are still very young and last time I checked Vechionacci was doing well at Charleston.  But again, both need to step their games up another level. Performing at LowA is nice but it's not saying a lot.

The Yankees most likely won't have a top ten system anytime soon but it's getting better and is improving.  It's still a work in progress and there's a lot of guys who need to start getting their acts together(Duncan, Henry, Clippard, Marquez(is he injuried?  Haven't seen him pitch lately), Vechionacci) But with the Yankees, they just don't depend on their system like the DBacks/Rays/Tigers do.  Maybe they should, and maybe they're starting.(Well, they are starting. Cano, Wang, Cabrera, Beam, etc) - Haven't dealt away Duncan or Hughes like they would have done in previous years. They're starting to get smarter and realizing that producing your own players might not be such a bad thing.  

As far as the draft, I was pleased with it.  Kennedy and Joba are two nice pitching prospects to add.  Same goes for McAllister.  Betances and Melancon are two nice assets if they sign.  If Del Howell signs, he is a major sleeper.  We won't find out for a few years how this draft will turn out but I'd say it was at least an average draft.  But...still doesn't put the Yankees anywhere close to a top ten system.  15-20 could be argued.
