30. LHSP Chase Huchingson
Huchingson was never drafted and signed with the Mets as a free agent in 2010. There was some question whether he was signed as a pitcher or an outfielder, and there were other questions why he was signed aat all. He batted .236 and his ERA was 8.36 so you tell me.
After signing, he pitched for K-Port: 0-1, 4.09, 5-appearances, 2-starts. Positive sign was 13-Ks in 11.0-IP.
5-23-11: - The Savannah Sand Gnats are still featuring a piggyback this late into the season. Chase Huchingson and Erik Goeddel have had their time split with Goeddel getting the ass end of the piggy. It’s obvious the team is juggling six starters, though Ryan Fraser is starting to show numbers going in the wrong direction. In my opinion, it’s time to stop screwing around here and the Gnats should start stretching out both Goeddel and Huchingson.
6-4-11: - Savannah’s SP Chase Hutchington put together his third quality start in a row Friday night, going 5.0-IP, striking out seven, and giving up 0-R, and only 1-H. That’s 1-ER, in his last 15.0-IP, with 20-K. Seasonally, 56 K, 46.1-IP, 15-BB, 37-H. For some reason, he has only pitched five innings in each of his last four starts, ad only went six innings on 4-28. Hopefully, he will stretch past this soon.

6. Chase Huchingson – SP/RP – A/Savannah: - 5-2, 1.91, 1.06, 16-G, 71-K, 61.1-IP, 19-BB – He started as a starter (1.80), but now comes out of the pen (2.01). Frankly, his K/IP ratio is way down as a reliever, but he’s still averaging over one per inning pitched.
8-5-11: - Stock Up – Chad Huchingson – it’s going to be interesting to see how this kid is showcased next season. He started out as a starter in Savannah, but has been a steady influence in the pen since the all-star break. He also has done very little wrong at either job. Hutch produced three more scoreless innings Friday and lowered his season ERA to 1.70 in 21 games (8 starts).

At 6’5″, 197 lbs., the lefty has the frame for starting, and if he can command his pitches well enough, the stuff is also there to throw quality innings. Hutchingson has succeeded in keeping the ball down this year, a quality that could prove quite valuable in the confines of Citi Field no matter if he is a starter or set-up man in New York.

I'm intrigued to see where Chase will be and what he'll be doing. I think he should be given the chance to start in Port St. Lucie but would be okay if he was held in Savannah as a PURE starter too.
General Consensus is Savannah Phlavio, although i could see an outside chance at St. Lucie if the cards fall right.
I don't think he will return to Savannah. Done that.
I have him fighting for a Lucy pen job with Leathersich, Mazzoni, Chism, Bennett, Rustich, Weldon, Rojas, Moria, Kolarek,and Fraser
