Pretty solid return.

Hillenbrand had no value and Chulk is garbage. Accardo is young and has some pretty impressive stats in both his years. His ERA is a little high this year, but ERA is pretty useless IMO to judge relievers. His 1.21 WHIP is damn impressive.

From reading through a couple of Jays boards it sounds like the guy has a 95+ MPH fastball which he relies heavily upon. Although Accardo's a righty, he's absolutely dominated lefties in his short career (.182 vs left, .265 vs right).
