Maddon: Jeremy Hellickson "Possibility" For Rays Bullpen This Season

PrintWell it doesn't help the current offensive woes of the past night and a half, but Joe Maddon is now on record as saying Jeremy Hellickson is a possible candidate for the Rays bullpen in 2010.
"You saw he had a little taste of it in Spring Training, he came out with guys all over the place and he got out of it [against the Yankees]," Maddon said. "Very casually in a sense, he was not offended by the moment or overwhelmed by the moment. You're going to see the same kind of approach from him.
"Out of the bullpen, that's a possibility, and I would not be opposed to that at all. But eventually he's going to be one of the starters, there is no doubt. To get a taste, I think he could do it, and it would serve him well, and us." --RaysBaseball.com
2008 David Price. 2010 Jeremy Hellickson? Sounds good to me.

I think Hellickson should be in our postseason rotation
He could dominate with no one having seen him thus far.

He hit .338/.405/.615
With 5HRs 8BBs to 15Ks in June. He got really hot for the Giants in June-we never saw there here, but yeah-he’s still the same player.

"offended by the moment"
Why would Hellickson by “offended” ? Give us a major league baseball manager instead of a wanna be philosphical brain teaser. My God, he must drive the players crazy.
Haha yeah, "offended" is a pretty tough word. Five dollar word. Maybe Professer Nerdsworth Von Maddon should take a back seat to someone who's played the game?
That brainiac would rather conjugate some latin than play a ball game. Doctor Joe Geekstat is probably more interested in his online chess match than what goes on on the diamond. We don’t need Research Director Joe Wittgenstein D’Maddon to screw up the game with his line up Suduku any more. Turn the keys to this pickup over to Don Zimmer.

I like your contrast on this burn as much as I like TGN1's burn itself.
I believe they’re both fitting contributions and both legitimate, honest statements from hardworking folk, unlike the parent comment, which was lazier then BJ Upton.

I'm sure the answer will be no due to Hell-boy long being a DRB darling
but are there any concerns with Hellickson having a 15/13 K/BB ratio over his last three starts which has only covered 15 IP?
He hasn't gone past 6 IP in any of those starts, i'm sure a result of the higher pitch count with all the BB
I’m not attempting to bash him here
I’ve never been ga ga over Hell boy, but i suppose he has a Niemann, Shields type ceiling which i guess is good enough
And I think the likelihood that he reaches that ceiling is pretty high
And that’s the reason he’s so highly regarded by pro scouts. I think he’s the best option coming out of the pen too with his ability to throw strikes, which hopefully he gets back to excelling at.
Here's how i look at him. He's done all he can at AAA
He has to be an improvement over Cormier, who i hope is the one to exit. Replacing Sonny for him at this point is moot, for you’d want to see him in higher leverage situations. But all in all i’m still hoping to land a LHP in the pen
