Giving up Hughes would trash everything Cashman has worked for--Peter Abraham

• Peter Abraham today on his LoHud Yankees blog:

"For the better part of two years, Cashman has been working to build an organization that would avoid just the kind of move the Yankees are about to make. Cashman succeeded in building a player development powerhouse. But just when it looked like the Yankees were going to change, Hughes could be on the way out. And while Joba Chamberlain became a cult hero, a lot of people believe Hughes is still a better prospect and has a better makeup for New York.

• And do not underestimate the loss of Melky Cabrera, another player the organizational guys were proud of developing. How many times did we hear Torre last year how much the team needed his energy?"

From Peter Abraham's post on LoHud Yankees blog, 12/1/07, "Hughes Could Put Yankees Over the Top."
