Isn't it too early to tell? We won't have Joba in the rotation at first, since he'll start in the pen and slowly get weaned to the rotation.
Hughes needs to show what he can do after having recovered from some hamstring injury.
Kennedy has much to prove, though he's been touted. Why don't we just wait until July to ask this question? Until then, my initial pick is Phil.Please read Baseball Fever Policy and Forum FAQ before posting. 2007-11 CBA

Gosh, who knows. They both have great resumes. I said Joba just because of his monstrous performance last year in the bigs.Buck O'Neil: The Monarch of BaseballComment

I think Joba makes the immediate impact...but in the long run I see Hughes being the Big Dog.
I dunno why, but I see arm troubles for Joba in the not too distant future.
This rubber banding back and forth from pen to rotation isn't doing much to help, if you ask me.
If it's upto me, I start him in the Rotation and limit him to about 23-25 Starts.
Let him finish in the pen. It's easier to go from the Rotation to the Pen then vice versa."After my fourth season I asked for $43,000 and General Manager Ed Barrow told me, 'Young man, do you realize Lou Gehrig, a 16-year-man, is playing for only $44,000?' I said, Mr. Barrow, there is only one answer to that - Mr. Gehrig is terribly underpaid."- Yankees outfielder Joe DiMaggioComment

Very hard to say, of course. Hughes could be better, but right now I'd give the edge to Joba, simply because Joba has proven he can get Major League hitters out and Hughes has not as much. How often does a young pitcher get big hype until he pitches in the Bigs?--------------------

Tough to say. I`ll go with Hughes because I am afraid of arm injuries for Joba due to the shuffling between the bullpen and rotation. He could also end up being permanently in the bullpenComment

Would of been nice to see who voted what...

We need Joba to be a starter come playoff time tho....Originally posted by TonyStarks View Post
Im gonna go with Hughes in the long run as well. But for this year, I think Joba is going to do a lot better.Comment

I vote Kennedy but I think Hughes is the most experienced and will do the greatest in 2008. Last year, Kennedy had a couple of really good starts and I am really looking forward to seeing what he can do!Check out my Yankee blog http://questfor27.blogspot.com/

I'm not even sure about that. Phil Hughes started putting it together down the stretch and Joba was sick his entire call-up.Originally posted by Mariano_Rivera View PostAfter an offseason scare with blood clots, Shelley Duncan said yesterday he feels "wonderful -- like a stallion"Comment
