How Hicks presents Giants with intriguing pitching versatility
Briefly

"The Giants' reported agreement with Hicks is for four years and $44 million with at least a reported $2 million in incentives tied to innings pitched. Primarily used as a relief pitcher throughout his five full MLB seasons, the Giants reportedly plan to deploy Hicks in the starting rotation."
"Hicks is one of MLB's hardest-throwing pitchers, topping out at 105 mph on a handful of occasions in his career. His command, however, is suspect. One thing that almost certainly drew the Giants to him was his career 60.4 percent ground ball rate."
