Depends on whether or not the Yankees decide to keep jerking Phil Hughes between the bullpen and the rotation. If they let Pettite go next year I'm sure they'll give his spot to Hughes, but this year it kind of hinges on Wang's performance.

 

I don't know much about Martinez, but judging from his numbers he doesn't appear to be anything really special, though numbers can be deceiving. I'm sure he brings extra skills to the table that numbers don't show. Perhaps great defense, I'm assuming. But he's still really young.

 

How does Martinez project? Is he going to be a power guy or a contact guy? I'd almost take Hughes since he's proven he has some elite talent in him, and you can use him immediately rather than later.
