Hurley... seems like I've heard that name before somewhere...

This is outstanding news.

He was a good, not great prospect coming up, people just have a bad taste over KoK’s nonstop pummeling of him, and a 5+ ERA in his first 5 MLB starts.

Reports are that he’s throwing between 90 and 93 mph with his fastball and that he’s feeling good.

This, to me, is the feel-good story of this offseason. It's better than Feliz named AL ROY.

It would be amazing if he was a legitimate mid-season consideration for a bullpen arm.

Godspeed Mike Olt.

Not to mention a large portion of that 5+ ERA was the result of his last start against Oakland

where the Clapper came out and broken his shoulders

his FIP that year was 5.93

vs ERA of 5.47

first 5 MLB starts.

I guess it should be 2.93 & 2.47 like all rookies in their first 5 MLB starts…oh, wait.

He might not have as many IP as Hunter next year...

but I am going to say that Hurely will have better numbers than Hunter.

1-2 inning BP guy by July maybe?

I think he could air it out a bit more and go 94-95 in that situation, nice.

Maybe open the season in AAA...

and take over Nippert’s role as the long reliever and get spot starts when needed.

Hurley needs to be able to trust his arm/stuff after the injuries.

I think this AFL stint is huge for him becasue he seems to have found his control after struggling with it in his first couple of starts.

What do you do with Feldman then? :)

I would have to think he is in the mix

Maybe he takes over Holland’s “#7 starter \ bullpen long man” role, but you have to think they’ll look long and hard at him this spring.

Bullpen.

He’s Thomas Diamond 2.0. Don’t see him moving in front of guys like Kirkman, Dutch and likely Scheppers in the starters pecking order.

I always liked that Hurley fella, sure hope he makes it.

We shouldn't get out hopes up too high

He looks like a solid bullpen candidate, but it’s still pretty early. Very encouraging, though.

When you're drowning, you don't say 'I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me,' you just scream.
