Eric Hurley Healthy?

Rangers activated RHP Eric Hurley from the 60-day disabled list.

Hurley missed the entire 2010 season because of chronic hand problems that have so far required three surgeries. He hasn't thrown a pitch in a major league game since 2008, when he finished with a 5.47 ERA and 1.42 WHIP in 24 2/3 innings.

Hurley was once a top #25 prospect in all of baseball. Here was his report on MILB

Hurley reached Triple-A at age 21 and more than held his own there, with his final stats skewed by two awful starts to close out the year. The hard-throwing right-hander uses a hard, heavy sinker/fastball and can throw both a two- and four-seam fastball by hitters. His other offerings -- a slider and changeup -- aren't bad, but are a bit behind his fastball. Once he establishes command of those pitches, the sky could be the limit.
Following the pattern of his career thus far -- and what the Rangers have done with other pitchers in the past -- Hurley should reach Arlington at some point in 2008. Give him a little time back in Triple-A to iron out his game and he could be ready to join the Rangers' rotation by midseason.
