Bill Hill  
Left Fielder | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
The book on Hill is that you can knock the bat out of his hands with an average major league fastball. Even though you might not start him, he's not a bad guy to have on your bench for the tough left-handed reliever. You can expect Bill Hill to hit the ball to the opposite field... that's just the kind of hitter he is.

Baserunning & Defense
Hill isn't a good baserunner. He doesn't get good jumps on steals nor runs sharp routes around the bases. Minor league scouts have accused Hill of being a liability in the field. His biggest problem in the field simply has to be his throwing arm... it's well below par.

2010 Outlook
What The Retired or Inactive Players was thinking when they signed Hill to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks.
