Anyways, Philip Hughes, AKA the best pitching prospect still in the minors, pitched 8 innings with 1 HA, 0 R, 2 BB, and 10 K! He took a no-hitter into the 8th as well. This was his last start as a teenager. I'm in love.
Anything you want.

Other Royals minor league transactions:
Wichita placed P Devon Lowery (knee) on the DL on 6/22.
Burlington released OF Antonio Sabatini on 6/25
Wichita promoted C Kiel Thibault from Burlington on 6/25
What the hell is Philly thinking?!?!?!?
All joking aside, Esteban German was a Royals steal for Castro. Good deal by Mr. Baird.
Too bad he's not quite ready for the majors.
I'd rather have Haigwood.
I have a question for some of the better prospect guys, though. The Yankees have said they're not going to call him up this year, but Cash also said "if he can't be denied, he can't be denied." So if he keeps dominating like this and does so in AA, would it make sense for the Yankees to call him up to the majors as either the longman or setup guy?
This way they could still be careful and limit his innings while letting him face major league hitters a la the way Liriano and Santana did. It also fills a hole for the Yankees and gives them a better idea of whether Hughes will be ready for a spot in the rotation at the beginning of 2007.
