I read that too, claims he had 2 surgeries last year, feeling great, and been working on a slider this past off season. Thinks he's got it down. So the question is where's his velo? My guess is to the Twins Brass, is if he can get it up to 85 to 90, throw in his off speed, he's our man. After all, they owe him $25M over next 2 years. (What in the world was Ryan smoking when he extended Hughes). Its the Twins Way to get their money's worth out of Hughes. So, if Hughes arm is still attached when camp ends, it wouldn't surprise me, he's the 4th starter until Santana's back, then pushed back to 5th starter. If not, he'll be back n the pen.
