this kid is supposively a STUD. My buddy plays for Mariners in AA(even though he just got tommy john) and said this kid is amazing......... hopefully hes right

espn.com said something about him being the best 19 year old pitcher ever.

I don't know about that.. but it's good to hear.

Does anyone know when he'll be called up in the majors?

At the earliest late July, but I guess it depends on how the Mariners are doing.

Hernandez won't throw for another week to 10 days to let a case of bursitis run its course, the Tacoma News Tribune reports.

"We've done all the tests, and we know what it is," trainer Rick Griffin said. "It's precautionary ? there's no reason to hurry him back. It's a painful injury, but it's not a serious one. We're going to give it time to calm down. There's nothing seriously wrong. We're just erring on the side of caution. There's no concern about him at all." That massive whoosh sound you just heard was the franchise's collective sigh of relief.
