I was at a wedding years ago- Nathan was a groomsman at my old roommates wedding, back when they were all coming up in the Giants system. He could not have been a more normal, likable guy.

He’s handled this entire injury with class, grace and dignity, and I can’t help but hope he comes back strong.

Its always nice to see good things happen to good people.

The dude could either serve as a solid #3 or 4 in the rotation and allow Blackburn/Baker/etc. to hang out in the bullpen or he could be a solid middle-relief option as he’s proven in the past.
