Hjelle was jettisoned back-and-forth between Triple-A Sacramento and the Giants multiple times last season. He was unsuccessful in both spots, collecting a 6.52 ERA in 15 relief appearances with the big club and a 6.00 ERA in 22 outings (19 starts) with Sacramento. All 23 of the 6-foot-11 right-hander's appearances in the majors have come in relief, and while the run prevention hasn't been there, he has struck out 59 in 54 innings. At this point, if Hjelle is going to have a prominent gig with San Francisco it seems likely to be in relief, perhaps in a multi-inning role. It's not a job that figures to bear fantasy fruit.
