Phil Hughes took the mound today after his start last night was rained out. He fared quite a bit better than in his first start at AA Trenton, going 6 innings and striking out 5 while allowing 5 hits and one walk. It's good to see him showing off his spectacular combination of strikeout stuff and precision control.

Also, Baseball America profiled the amazing Jose Tabata. It's a quick read and pretty much summarizes all the stuff Mike A. and I have been spouting about him since the season began. He is definitely one to watch.
