True, but all indications are that both should be excellent. Hughes was, by all accounts, the best pitcher in Yankees spring training 2006...that isn't the best rookie, it was the best pitcher, period.
And watch some Matsuzaka film. Even if he has a bit of trouble adjusting, he'll be decent.
I'd rather have Hughes and Matsuzaka than Randy Johnson and Jaret Wright...it can't be any worse. :p
