Rich Hill is done

[SouthSideRyan]

You guys ready to admit that Hill is going to contribute nothing at all to the 2009 season yet?

 

Hill with Aragua: 19 IP / 19 BB

 

Maybe you should've said something along those lines in the original post. Rather than writing off his career.

This is such an inane insult it doesn't make sense. Thanks for your valuable input.

I'd be pretty confident in writing off his career if he completely fails again in 2009. Nice try, though. Actually no it wasnt.

[SouthSideRyan]

Love this guy.

Slightly old article on the topic...

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/chi-30-rogers-whispersnov30,0,732802.story

 

I haven't seen any follow up on this...was Hill released from the Venezuela team as this article reports was about to happen?

 

I can't see him having a Cliff Lee type resurgence after pitching (badly) in winter ball and not getting the offseason to clear his head and rest his arm. I can't possibly see how he makes the roster this year. Is he worth putting on the 60 day DL, give him the year off, and try again next year if he performs predictably in ST?

[soapy]

you can find out in the minors forum, but i think Rich has made a couple of (poor) appearences out of the bullpen.

 

i'm really shocked that Diamond Mind hasn't bumped this thread lately.

 

ETA: three appearances (11/28, 11/30 and 12/2)

[CubbieBum]

And he's back (according to ESPN Rumor mill) ...

 

It looks like lefthander Rich Hill will finally make his debut for the Orioles, this Sunday in Kansas City.

 

Hill, acquired from the Cubs this winter to fill a spot in the Orioles rotation, has made four rehab starts and, according to the Baltimore Sun's Dan Connolly, O?s manager Dave Trembley has let fill-in starter Mark Hendrickson (1-4 with a 6.35 ERA in seven starts) know he's moving to the bullpen.

 

Because a roster move has not been announced, Trembley would not confirm Hill's promotion on Thursday. "I would say he has done fine in his rehab, and he is getting close; that's how I would answer that question," Trembley told the Sun.

 

The 29-year-old Hill is 1-2 with a 1.65 ERA in four rehab games at Norfolk and Single-A Frederick.

[E.J.]

Good luck to him. Hopefully he's finally figured something out.

I like the Royals and I like Rich Hill. I wish this was a game I could watch because I think I would actually make time to tune into this one.

[DiamondMind]

Told you guys.

[Mark Priors Calves]

i'm still pulling for him. i hope he can get it back together physically and mentally and turn it into a solid career.

[Sammy Sofa]

Do it to it, Rich.

I hope that he makes the best out of it. :D

I'm very interested to follow his progress, that's for sure.

[larhur]

He'll show up on the cadinals staff and win 15, just watch

[sweetpeteman]

According to the O's website, Hill will be starting tonight, not tomorrow.

[CubbieBum]

I'm all for trading to get him back. Loved watching his curveball and watching batters not know what to do.

[TruffleShuffle]

good luck rich. hopefully your norfolk teammate will be joining you soon in baltimore.

Was throwing the fastball and curve for strikes.

[E.J.]

Pretty decent return for Rich. Good for him.

[Sammy Sofa]

I would have been overjoyed by that line from him towards the end of his time here.

 

Hope he can keep it up and get back in it.
