Since he first came up in 2007, the Cubs are 49-22 when Koyie Hill starts (which really can't be attributed to the great team record last year as he only started 2 games).
2007: 25-8
2008: 1-1
2009: 23-13
Coincidence?
This is not some silly theory that's unsupported and deserves being mocked by photos of Xena.

I like the way he handles Z and Harden.

I would say it's at least partially coincidence. Just going by memory, it seems like the times he has gotten a lot of starts have coincided with the team getting hot at the plate.

He calls a good game and is a solid defensive catcher. It's hard for us to really know how much pitchers like pitching to him and how much that plays into it, but yeah they're doing well with him. Still, he's gotta get a day off, whether we like him or not. It's hard enough to squat back for there 3 hours for 1 game, imagine doing it for weeks straight. Let him have some rest.

I'm up for it.
In fact, I've always thought that teams should play two catchers throughout the season, almost like a platoon. Catching is about 5 times more physically and mentally demanding than any other defensive position, and MLB plays almost every <i>day</i> for six months.

Hill is solid. Nothing more, nothing less. I've been very pleased with him as the backup this year.

As I don't believe the Cubs have ever won a World Series without a 3 fingered player on the roster, Koyie Hill has a role on this team.
He provides what you need for a back up, defensive minded catcher.

That was good. And correct, btw.
