Rich Hill - stunlee - 12-12-2008
HOLY COW What happened to Rich Hill last year? I was looking for 200 Ks and a #2 starter. Will he return to the Cubs in '09? Will he fade away? Get traded?
Should be some value here...

I think he'll get lost in a Venezuelan jungle, and possibly contract a bacterial infection. At least, I can hope.

He'll be Jamie Moyer in 10 years.

He's done, time to get over him.

More like 35 years.
I don't know what I hope for Hill. If he ever figures it out, it won't be with the Cubs. So I sort of hope he doesn't ever figure it out.
Is that wrong?

Nope. I feel a little bit bad for him... but fuck him. We were counting on him to come through for us and he shit his pants. He's a headcase and he'll never be anything again. It's not like this was a 23-year-old kid. Did the Venezuelan team cut him? There's was talk about it. It's just getting worse and worse. His career is over.
Rich Hill - Ace - 12-12-2008
But I kinda feel like the Cubs fucked him. Changing his mechanics to cut out a few stolen bases?

Eh, that was a small part of it, I think it's all mental though.
Rich Hill - Auz - 12-13-2008
Hill needed a can of toughen the fuck up
Rich Hill - Destined - 12-13-2008
I'm not saying it's gonna happen, or that I think it could happen BUT...look at Cliff Lee.

I do not think we will ever see Rich Hill pitching for the Cubs again.

So could I...
Why everyone gotta be bitches?

I'm probably the biggest Hill groupie on the site, but given his age, it's starting to dawn on me that he's not going to live up to his promise.
At this point, he can't even get out of an inning in A-ball, so I'd have to say the org has got to consider moving on.
