Somehow rookie Dan Hurst has come out huge this year stealing 44 bases in 45 games. He has stolen a base in 26 games this year, and even stole 5 in a game against Portland. But where did this new age Benji Limoncome from?
The Crabs found him and took the 24 year old in the Rule 5 draft this season with the 4th pick. Before that he was mismanaged in the Brewer-Ballers-Yankees minor league system. In season 1 he was a fresh young 2B with big league potential, he showed his value with 198 hits, 142 runs, 61 stolen bases, a .308 batting average and a .404 OBS. Then he under former owner godsize, he disappeared, he was left on the inactive list for all of season 2 and season 3 limiting his growth. When netobin took over the franchise and moved out to Buffalo in season 4, he promoted Hurst to the AAA team as a 1B/DH. Hurst showed up again with 195 hits, 137 runs, 60 stolen bases, a .317 avg and .405 obs. When the San Francisco Crabs began preparing for season 5, they decided to see if Hurst, who has 100 speed and 85 range, can play in centerfield and leadoff. If he continues at this pace he will have 243 hits, 186 runs, 178 stolen bases with his .326 avg and .418 obs.
