The Book on James Hoey
Prospect Info
James Hoey
Born 12/30/1982
RHP, BAL
A towering right-hander with lights-out potential, Hoey rode a brief rollercoaster in 2007, performing well in the minors and looking unhittable during his first week in Baltimore before crashing to earth. He ended the season with as many big-league walks as strikeouts (18 of each). His 2008 was even more heartbreaking, as he was shut down in spring and ended the year in May with shoulder surgery. He'll be back eventually, but that hotshot closer club membership card is looking less and less likely everyday.
