02/24: Hughes Impresses
Posted by: Patrick
Posada calls Class-A's Hughes a 'can't miss prospect':
I certainly like the way that sounds.
"He's a can't-miss prospect," Posada said after facing right- handed pitcher Philip Hughes. "He's the best arm we've got in camp."
"The things that's unusual for a kid as young as he is, the curveball is really impressive," Torre said. "He's got one of those real-tight-rotation breaking balls. He's not commanding it as he's going to after a little experience, but his stuff is very real." ...
"Great arm, great poise, he just looks like he belongs," Posada said. "I would say, don't touch him. Leave him alone. Just put that tag on him already: 'untouchable.'"

Next thing you know, Sturtze will be on the mound and Posada will be quoted calling him the next Cy Young!
