5/16 - O's at Royals: Hill's Debut

[weams]

Rich Hill

*

Hill, who was placed on the disabled list with a strained left elbow on March 29, is eager to pick up where he left off in Spring Training. With Mark Hendrickson being sent to the bullpen, it's an opportunity for Hill to help solidify the rotation. He went 1-0 for the Cubs in five starts last year and was 11-8 in 2007 when he started 32 games and worked 195 innings with a 3.92 earned run average.

Rich Hill's debut + Nolan Riemold in LF + Felix Pie in CF = must watch TV.

I think the Birds will give Hill the run support he needs.

Great Job Roberts.

[SimplyZ]

Wow...who says you need hits to score runs?

Great hustle there by Huff.

Going from Jim Palmer to Buck Martinez is like going from Bedard to Eaton.

Hahah agree with that

[Skeletor]

They're getting some big crowds in KC. I didn't realize we were that big of a draw on the road.
