http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/H/rich-hill.shtml Oldish perhaps. But 27 isn't old at all when you're talking about a pitcher emerging as a reliable arm. Pitchers do tend to peak later than hitters. The Cubs probably could have had him in the majors and succeeding in 2005, and definitely 2006, if it wasn't for their silly usage patterns with him. And just think, if he was Hispanic, we would find out at some point this year or in the offseason after the year that he's actually 32.
