When he returns, general manager Kevin Towers is going to be faced with some difficult decisions regarding who stays in the rotation and who gets sent to the bullpen. When asked about Hudson, Towers said, \"We may start him in the bullpen and lengthen him out a bit before he goes into the rotation.\" Fortunately for Hudson, a lot of things can change with the health of the starting rotation over the next six weeks. As long as he performs well during his rehab assignment, it will be difficult for the Diamondbacks to keep him out of the starting rotation. In deeper leagues, he will definitely be worth picking up as he gets closer to returning in June.","date":"Tue May 21"},"fullName":"Daniel Hudson","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Hudson, who succumbed to Tommy John surgery last July, is expected to miss half the season as he rehabilitates his arm. That puts him in the class of NL-only/deep-mixed bench stashes, more valuable in leagues that afford extended DL spots, but you can be sure that, putting aside the possibility of setbacks or diminished stuff once he heals, he'll be back in the Diamondbacks' starting five sometime midsummer. Before getting hurt, Hudson was shaping up as one of the more underrated starters, even in mixed formats, his underlying career numbers including a 3.10 strikeout-to-walk ratio and 3.59 FIP. Don't forget this potential second-half value.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Thu Feb 21"}}
