It’s easy, Clint Hurdle said, for people to forget players are more than their Major League performances.
While some might be calling for Jameson Taillon’s rapid return from undergoing surgery for testicular cancer to the Majors, Hurdle isn’t one of them.
“There’s a lot of people in a hurry to see him pitch, and they forget the human being that’s tied to this whole deal,” Hurdle said. “They think about a pitcher. We’re not going to be those people. We’re tied to the man.”
Therefore, Hurdle hasn’t set a timetable for Taillon to get back on the mound at PNC Park.
