Aaron Hill out 4-6 weeks with broken hand, Diamondbacks call up Didi Gregorius
Apr 16, 2013, 3:49 PM EDT
Aaron Hill got hit on the left hand by a pitch on April 9, but X-rays came back negative and he made a pair of pinch-hitting appearances on April 13 and April 14. He even delivered an RBI double in one of them. But apparently he was doing that with a broken hand, which finally…

Arizona GM Kevin Towers has mastered the art of buying high and selling low this winter. In giving Aaron Hill a three-year, $35 million extension on Friday, Towers made another high-risk, low-upside move. Second basemen have a history of cratering earlier than most, and Hill is going to be 32-34 during the years his extension…

All Aaron Hill does is hit for the cycle and make contract extension news. At least if you search the HardballTalk archives for him anyway. Since it’s the offseason, it’s contract extension time.

Here’s something you don’t see every day. Or week. Or month. Or year. Or decade. Well, you get the point.

Report: Diamondbacks, Aaron Hill come to terms on two-year deal
Nov 13, 2011, 9:47 PM EDT
A strong six-week audition landed Aaron Hill a two-year, $10 million contract with the Diamondbacks, the Arizona Republic’s Nick Piecoro reports. Hill, a pretty abysmal regular in his final year and two-thirds with the Blue Jays, hit .315/.386/.492 in 33 games after coming over from Toronto with John McDonald for Kelly Johnson in August. The second…

He also posted a solid .879 OPS in the NLDS. But the Arizona front office is well aware that great results over a small…

Ahhh, the elusive challenge trade. With just five weeks left in the season, the Diamondbacks and Blue Jays opted to swap second basemen Tuesday. Toronto received Kelly Johnson and sent along Aaron Hill, also including shortstop John McDonald in the bargain. That all three players in the trade are free agents-to-be makes it an especially…

Dbacks trade Kelly Johnson to Toronto for Aaron Hill, John McDonald
Aug 23, 2011, 3:30 PM EDT
It’s being reported — sorry, not sure who got it first; the earthquake has rendered Twitter almost unreadable — that the Diamondbacks have traded Kelly Johnson to Toronto for Aaron Hill and John McDonald. Johnson is a year removed from a 26-homer, .284/.370/.496 season, though he’s struggling mightily this year. There’s still power — 18 homers…

Aaron Hill returned from a quadriceps injury to make his spring training debut yesterday, but afterward expressed some doubt about his status for Opening Day: It was good to get out there and see what I’ve got. I can play but it’s going to be their decision. Hopefully it will be fine by then but…

Out since the second game of the season with a hamstring injury, Aaron Hill is expected to return from the disabled list Friday against the Rays.

Satisfied with their rotation depth and not wanting to pay him a $100,000 assignment bonus to pitch at Triple-A, the Phillies released veteran starter Aaron Cook. Cook hasn’t posted an ERA under 5.00 since 2009 and last season had more walks (21) than strikeouts (20) in 94 innings for the Red Sox. He should be…

The Phillies have signed Aaron Cook to a minor league deal, reports Jon Paul Morosi. If he makes the bigs he’ll make $1.625 million. Not a bad gamble at that price. Though I’m skeptical that he’ll be particularly useful. He has become a near-historically bad pitcher in terms of strikeout rate. Which he somehow, quite…

Looking to add depth to a bullpen that’s been hit hard by injuries this season, the Phillies signed Aaron Heilman to a minor league contract on Thursday, CSNPhilly’s Jim Salisbury reports. He’ll step into a Triple-A Lehigh Valley relief corps that just lost Jason Grilli to the Pirates. Heilman was cut by the Diamondbacks after amassing a…
