Hillenbrand Update

It seems that J.P. Ricciardi had no trouble moving Shea Hillenbrand, as he sent the outcast (along with reliever Vinnie Chulk) to San Francisco for reliever Jeremy Accardo. The reliever swap is an upgrade, as Accardo has two good pitches and solid plate control, but the real deal for the Jays is saving almost two million for Hillenbrand. Is it the most Ricciardi could have gotten for Hillenbrand on Monday, probably not, but it remains a solid deal for the Blue Jays.
