Shawn Hill (Mud Hens in 2013) has signed minor-league deal with the Blue Jays. Had been bound for York in independent league.

 

They must need depth in Buffalo or New Hampshire.

His MLB ZiPS projection is actually pretty good:

 

7.15 ERA / 6.58 FIP / -1.4 fWAR

 

Looking forward to seeing what he can do this summer, when he gets 15+ starts!

Hill looked really good in those WBC qualifying games for Canada. Very good late movement. Nothing to lose here and Buffalo could use a swing man considering the likelihood of Toronto often recalling pitchers.

He's a Canadian kid, give him some slack. I bet Hill does get 10 starts, which would be really sad.

Erik Bedard would be much better.

Bedard as a swing man in Buffalo to keep guys on their start dates as Toronto calls up and sends guys down? Naw. Erik wouldn't take that roll. Hill's roll will be as a guy who protects other arms, without taking a 40-man roster spot.

Sometimes I wonder if you are Hill's agent.

Lol no. Just an observation. Clearly he's a pitcher with unrealized talent, who is past his best before date. He did flash his better stuff in those WBC Q games. Is what it is.
