What Yankee are we suprised with the Most?


When i look at the Yankees season thus far i think of their 11-5 record and knowing that they are the defending World Champions. Coming into the season though, their were quite a few questions marks including, How Nick Johnson & Brett Gardner will play and if they could fill the shoes of Johnny Damon & Hideki Matsui? Well Brett Gardner is riding high with a .310 AVG and 8 stolen bases in 14 games. Nick Johnson who was brought in to get on base hasn't done much of that lately but still maintains a .375 on base percentage. Looking at the Yankees though the player who has surprised me the most would have to be Phil Hughes who nearly threw a no hitter in Oakland on the 21st of April. Phil Hughes has been lights out, in 2 starts owns an ERA of 2.19 while allowing 3 earned runs in 12.1 innings, and striking out 16 while only walking 7. I have to think back before the season to what i really expected from Hughes which probably was just to keep the Yankees in the ball game he was starting until their offense got going. Hughes has been ANOTHER force in that rotation, and once they get Javier Vazquez going this team will be scary as we all know and have seen before.
