Rich Hill, that is. [TWEET]https://twitter.com/Joelsherman1/status/1418612966862344198[/TWEET] He was scheduled to start for TB on Saturday so he can now take the open Sunday spot. https://www.mlb.com/player/rich-hill-448179

Sure, I guess.

A Boy Named Seo Jul 23 2021 10:44 AM Re: This Is Our Hill

Hill, yeah.

Fman99 Jul 23 2021 10:44 AM Re: This Is Our Hill

Pending physicals - never a small issue for a 41 year old SP with a "rich" history of arm, shoulder & elbow woes. But still, I like it. Was working on the pun for a thread title when I saw this. Was thinking "Lothar of the Hill People."

A Boy Named Seo Jul 23 2021 10:45 AM Re: This Is Our Hill

I was on "Hill, yeah" or "This is our Hill! And these are our Beans!"

Benjamin Grimm Jul 23 2021 10:46 AM Re: This Is Our Hill

This seems like a very good move. They desperately need another starter (or two) (or three) and Hill has 19 starts this year with a 3.97 ERA. He's only averaging about five innings per start, but unless this AA player is a top prospect, the price is certainly cheap enough.

seawolf17 Jul 23 2021 10:47 AM Re: This Is Our Hill

I don't trust the Rays at all, though. This "AA guy" is probably the 2023 AL Rookie of the Year.

Excellent, Fman99. I was thinking of this brilliant line: [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnIDLELMkzU

I'm a little surprised the first place Rays are trading a starting pitcher, but those guys do shit differently anyway. I like the trade so far.

MFS62 Jul 23 2021 10:49 AM Re: This Is Our Hill

Like Seawolf, I want to see who the AA player is. They have at least two of their top 10 prospects at Binghamton. Later

I amended the original post. A C, the 4-round pick from last year.

Okay, I'm all in, then.

Doesn't seem an exorbitant fee to get a 41-year old pitcher who's kinda sucked the last coupla months. We desperately needed a Rich Hill and that it turns out to be the actual Rich Hill is good by me.

Me, too. Especially since it will give catching Prospect Hayden Senger a chance to get more at bats.

Later

bmfc1 Jul 23 2021 11:11 AM Re: This Is Our Hill

He last pitched on Monday so he could pitch as early as Saturday. Walker is set for Saturday while Sunday is "TBD". However, he faced TOR just 2 weeks ago so I wonder if they'll hold him back for one of the games against ATL on Monday, which are both "TBD". https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/gamelog/_/id/6321

Willets Point Jul 23 2021 11:23 AM Re: This Is Our Hill

Nice to have someone on the team still representing Generation X, I guess.

Edgy MD Jul 23 2021 11:45 AM Re: This Is Our Hill

I didn't think Tommy Hunter was eligible to be traded. I didn't really trust Matt Dyer once I was unable to establish any relationship to Duffy.

Edgy MD wrote: I didn't think Tommy Hunter was eligible to be traded. Because of the IL thing? That rule seems to have loopholes. I remember Zack Wheeler was included in the almost-trade that would have sent Wilmer Flores to the Brewers for Carlos Gomez in 2015. And Wheeler was out for the season with his Tommy John.

Isn't Dick Mountain the preferred nomenclature?

nymr83 Jul 23 2021 08:18 PM Re: This Is Our Hill

Good stop gap move. I hope more is coming. Megill says "we don't need no stinkin pitching help!"

ashie62 Jul 24 2021 03:36 PM Re: This Is Our Hill

Sounds too good. Matt Dyer must be very very promising. Scherzer or Berrios next.
