Baltimore Orioles: Jeremy Hellickson Trade Is a Head Scratcher Baltimore Orioles: Jeremy Hellickson Trade Is a Head Scratcher Author : A few nights ago, the MLB trade market was active. There were three trades completed Friday evening, all of which involved teams in the NL East. One of those trades also involved the Baltimore Orioles, as they acquired starting pitcher Jeremy Hellickson from the Philadelphia Phillies. In exchange, the O's sent outfielder Hyun Soo Kim, minor league lefty Garrett Cleavinger and some international bonus money to the Phils. But the fact that the Orioles, who are widely expected to sell, are adding a starting pitcher, leads to the question, why make such a move? Following play on Sunday evening, Baltimore sat four games under .500, with a 50-54 record following a win over the Texas Rangers. That record is good for fourth in the AL East, which is 6.5 games behind the division leading New York Yankees. As for the Wild Card, they are 5.5 games back, and need to leap frog five clubs to make it into the playoff picture. As a result, adding an inning eater type of arm, who is no more than above average, is not exactly the type of 1 / 2 move that turns a team's season around. Sure the team has been below average in the rotation, but adding Hellickson honestly does not do much to change that. This is not a move for the future either. Hellickson, who is 30 years old, is pitching on a one-year deal. After the season, he becomes a free agent once more as he looks to enter his age 31 season. His current 4.73 ERA and 1.26 WHIP are not exactly going to draw tons of looks. Nor will they be of much service to the Orioles in terms of being a better ball club. The only reasoning for the move is the O's wanted another arm to help eat some innings the remainder of the season. They did not give up much for the acquisition, but still, you need to question if giving away assests is really worth it just so a guy can eat some innings. Why not just call up someone from the minors and give them a look instead? The club won't miss Kim much, as he is hitting .232 in 141 at-bats on the season. Cleavinger is currently struggling his way through Double-AA this season. His ceiling is not that high, but he still could turn into a potential back-end of the rotation or bullpen type of arm with an average fastball and curve. Then there is the international bonus money. The Orioles simply do not value this asset, as they part ways with it in a move like this. But it is still something that could be considered more useful than a rental arm who is no better than average. So Orioles' fans, what do you think? Do you understand the move? Is the minimal package given away make up for the head scratching move? Tell us what you think in the comments! 2 / 2 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

  • RAYS CLIPS August 20, 2010
    RAYS CLIPS August 20, 2010 Tampa Bay Rays are doing the right thing by protecting Jeremy Hellickson's arm By John Romano, Times Sports Columnist With Jeremy Hellickson, the future takes precedence over the present. ST. PETERSBURG After his first three big-league starts, the rookie pitcher in Washington had a 2-0 record. His ERA was 1.86, and opponents were batting .149 against him. Stephen Strasburg ended up on the cover of Sports Illustrated. After his first three big-league starts, the rookie pitcher in Tampa Bay had a 3-0 record. His ERA was 1.35, and opponents were batting .136 against him. Jeremy Hellickson could very well end up in Triple A after his next start tonight. Kind of makes you wonder if the Rays are - how shall I put this - insane? In the ramshackle history of an expansion franchise, no Rays starting pitcher has ever made such a dramatic entrance. Hellickson has been poised, he has been efficient, he has, by far, been better than anyone could have reasonably expected. So are the Rays making a huge mistake by not taking advantage of Hellickson while fighting for first place? No, they're not. At least, not at this point. Certainly, we can all agree on the notion of seizing the day in a pennant race. We wouldn't mind spending more of ownership's money, and we might be willing to trade a prospect at the right price. But risking a young player's future? That should be nonnegotiable. And that's why this story is not as simple as it seems.

  • Weekly Notes 082417
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 2017 NATIONAL TREASURE With a victory on Sunday at San Diego, Washington Nationals starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez improved to 12-5 on the season with a 2.39 ERA. The 31-year-old left-hander has won each of his last four starts, permitting just one earned run over 27.2 innings pitched (0.33 ERA). According to Elias, the only other pitchers in Expos/Nationals history to post an ERA below 0.50 over four straight starts within one season (all wins), are Charlie Lea (0.28 in 1981), Hall of Famer Pedro Martinez (0.30 in 1997) and Javier Vazquez (0.28 in 2001). With his next start, Gio will attempt to become the fourth pitcher in Montreal/Washington franchise history to pick up a victory while tossing at least 6.0 innings and allowing one earned run or less in fi ve consecutive starts, and just the second to do so in a single season. Jordan Zimmermann accomplished the feat in six consecutive starts in 2012, while Martinez did so in six straight starts across the 1996-97 seasons. Gonzalez’ teammate Joe Ross compiled a streak of fi ve such starts between 2015-16. The two-time All-Star has now pitched into the sixth inning in 19 consecutive starts, and he has lasted at least 5.0 innings in 25 straight outings. Steve Rogers holds the all-time franchise mark of 62 straight starts of at least 5.0 innings pitched from May 22, 1977 - April 15, 1979.
