Mike Pelfrey vs. Phillip Hughes

Since Ross and I are both obsessed with our organization's top pitching prospects, I figured I'd link to John Sickles' "Prospect Smackdown" of Mike Pelfrey and Phillip Hughes. The short answer is that they both look real good - they have very similar stats so far. Hughes is younger, but Pelfrey has been healthier.

My impression is that it's more likely that we'll see Pelfrey in the bigs this year than Hughes. One would think that the Mets will only be able to stand Jose Lima for so long. I hope.
