He's an innings eater. Still relatively young, might be tweakable, but it feels like there could be a few guys like this in FA

It's definitely a low-risk, high reward sort of move. Klentak must believe the Phillies staff can turn his career around.

We got our ace

White version of Jerome Williams.

Hellickson is signed through 2016. He made $4.25m in 2015.

Godspeed, Sam Rutherford McWilliams. We didn't know ye.

Welcome to Philly, Hellboy!

Hellickson's second half was nearly a run and a half better. If he builds on that he's a quality arm.

Solid move.

Nice trade. Hellickson can pitch some when he's not hurt. McWilliams is a long, long away if that. He is big. So there's that.

Klentak:

"I think one of the things on top of the obvious is that he’s a veteran guy, but still just 28 years old. He’ll pitch at 29 this season so we’re excited that he’s still in his prime. And more than anything, he’s a competitor. He wants the ball. We’ve talked about building an environment, and we think he’ll be a very positive influence on our staff."

meh trade imo. i'm certainly willing to trust the new regime though.

Umm, trust the process.

I seem to remember that once upon a time he was very highly touted - like a top of the rotation kind of pitcher

by **Squire** » Sat Nov 14, 2015 19:06:24

Solid move. I like McWilliams but he's at the bottom end of our 30. Hellickson still pretty young. Will eat innings and be credible.
