Great article on Phil

frontpaged by jscape

Great piece on MLB.com about our boy Phil.

The Yankees' catching tandem was ready to hit the streets after another early afternoon at camp when Jose Molina dropped by with a tidbit for Jorge Posada.

Having just completed receiving Phil Hughes' latest bullpen session, an impressed Molina told Posada, "You know what? Phil looks like he has more pop."

Posada concurred, and the backstops aren't the only ones who have noticed.

Said manager Joe Girardi: "You watch him and he leads the groups in running. He just looks like an athlete, a thoroughbred and a leader."

It goes on to talk about the Santana deal, and Hughes' offseason. I know it's spring, and hope certainly does spring eternal- but this kid's really got a good head on his shoulders. I'll be looking forward to what 2008 holds for him.
