Kevin Hooper on Ryan: We’re excited to have ‘Hinsy’ back for another year.  He is the type of guy who I know what to expect from every time he takes the ball.  He is a bulldog on the mound who loves to compete.  He is a great team guy understands how we do things here, and he will once again be a big part of our starting rotation.
