Jeremy Hellickson

[TurdFerguson]

I just drafted him in the last round of a minor league draft. Could anyone give me the scoop him? Ive found a little info but not much.

Hellickson is a solid pitcher. Nothing great, but solid. He only has 2 out pitches, so I think he ends up being in the bullpen in the majors and not in the rotation. But of course since the Drays have moved Hellickson along slowly, he definitely has enough time to develop another solid pitch. He has not pitched above low A in 2 years with the Devil Rays so this year is a big year for him. If he can develop another pitch, he could move on a bit faster and possibly be in the majors competing for a rotation spot as soon as 2009. He was a decent pick with your last pick in your minors draft.
