Message: [QUOTE="CaliCuse, post: 40111, member: 324"] You don't think Nova is a #2? He is young and needs a bit more experience in big situations but he is a quality Number 2. What theYanks need beyond hughes is a 3 and 4 if Hughes were to develop a hardslider he could MAYBE move up to the #2 himself. At this point he is showing no interest in perfecting the most difficult pitch to hit. Nova has a fastball that gets into the upper 90s on occasion. his slider is effective and when hs changeup develops he will be flirting with the 20 win number. The pitcher that really concerns me is the way overrated CC whose effectiveness was drastically in decline late in the season. Wh o knows if Colon will be around next year or be effective at his progressing age and conditioning. Lets face Bartolo was more then could have been expected by anyone on the Yankees 'braintrust.
