Twins and Hughes sign new contract

[gunnarthor]

5 years and 58m. Seems like a good deal for the Twins, who are getting Hughes at a lower annual cost then Nolasco and Santana. From the article: "ERA estimators such as FIP (2.65), xFIP (3.18) and SIERA (3.17) all feel that Hughes was significantly better than his ERA actually indicated, and Fangraphs pegged his 6.1 wins above replacement in a tie for fourth-best among Major League pitchers (tying him with both David Price and Jon Lester)."

I like it. Good arm to lock up. And they need all they can get of that.

I'm a big Phil Hughes fan and am happy for him that he picks up a deal like this. Good for him and the Twinks.
