PitchersJeremy Hellickson, SP, Tampa Bay Rays
At least it should be for a bit longer this time. Wade Davis (shoulder) and Jeff Niemann (shoulder) are both on the DL. Neither is supposed to miss more than the minimum. The Rays beckoned Hellickson - again, one of the top prospects in baseball, period - from Triple-A Durham. The right-hander is 12-3 with a 2.45 ERA, a 1.17 WHIP, 123 K's and 35 walks in 117 2/3 frames in the minors this year. In his big league debut, a spot start, he held the Minnesota Twins to three hits, two walks and two runs, with six strikeouts, in seven stanzas. Hellickson, 23, may run into adversity up here in a start or two, but his upside is worth a roster spot for the couple of times he could go and what he can give you. Tampa's tender twosome should be fine, but any negative development for them is a positive one for Hellickson owners.
