I see it didnt take long for Hill to take away from Soto's playing time.

It's too bad Iowa's season isn't another couple weeks longer. Koyie Hill would be an interesting experiment to how much there is a divide between MLB and AAA this season. Koyie is already 3/5 with a double in AAA. To match his MLB production, he just needs 12 more hits in his next 88 at-bats :shock:.

My guess is given the opportunity he'd be well above that. Here's Hill's overall AAA line on the season: .331/.368/.489 (133 AB's).

When one of the worst hitters in MLB can go down and put up an .850+ OPS, I start to become wary of AAA numbers this year (Pie, Cedeno, Fontenot are also examples of players who's conversion is crazy. Your numbers should go down going from AAA to MLB, but not normally nearly as much as those 4 have).

Yeah, what the heck is up with that?

Hill was used as a PH. Soto got his full 5 PA's, but moved from catcher to 1st as part of a double switch. Interestingly, the I-Cubs currently have 4 catchers on their roster - Soto, Hill, Richie and Fox.

Robert Hernandez is the truth.

Are you sure about this? Hill is listed in the box score going 2-4, and Sotos name isnt in the box.
