The Brewers have had scouts at the past three Trenton Thunder games...Trenton is the AA team for the Yankees. They will be scouting Philip Hughes on Friday night when the Thunder plays the Defenders (CT).
Personally if the Yankees trade Hughes, I think it's a mistake. Lee is a good bat, not a bad defender...but he's not head and shoulders above what they are playing with now. Hughes is going to be really good. I think that this is a classic example of Cashman bowing to pressure to "win now" versus building for the future...which is why they are in the position that they are in anyway.
I believe that the Yankees would benefit from more arms versus bats. If they move Hughes for a bat, it is a mistake.
