Hellickson and the Phillies agreed to terms on a one-year, $7 million deal Friday, avoiding arbitration, Jim Salisbury of CSN Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellickson, who was acquired from Arizona in November, figures to slot into the rotation right away, but his value is somewhat up in the air after posting a 4.62 ERA and 1.33 WHIP across 146 innings last season. He'll need to improve upon his strikeout totals (121:43 K:BB) in order to exceed his mid-tier starter expectations.
