re: Weekend Rotation for next week

I think it's more about each one's ceiling. Hurd has electric stuff. Even when he had trouble with his control last season, you could see the explosion in his fastball and bite in his breaking ball. He's a swing and miss pitcher.

That's not a slight on Holman, he's just a totally different guy. He's the kind of pitcher that won't light up the stat sheet, but he knows how to eat up quality innings. He's a guy that, before you know it, he's in the 6th inning and he's only given up a couple runs. He doesn't have that wow factor of Hurd, or even Jump.

Regardless of who ends up being the Friday guy, it's a luxury that I don't think we have seen in quite some time that we have a lot of frontline options on the weekends.
