Oh it Hurst

Side comment based on a Globe Red Sox Blog post:

"Bruce Hurst, who had a 145-113 record in 379 games over his major league career, was hired by the team to be a special instructor for player development. In the role, Hurst will travel around to minor league clubs a couple of times a month to help out with minor league players, evaluating their development. With an 11 year old child at home, he wasn't interested in going full-time on the road, but did want to become involved.

Hurst played for the Sox from 1980-1988. He is coming off four years as the pitching coach for the China national team. "

Huh? Wasn't interested in a full-time position because he has an 11-year old child? Ummm. He's spent the last four years in CHINA! He had a 7, 8, 9 and 10-year old child during each of those times.
