Jays' Aaron Hill starting to loom large again

[LittleOzzy]

As a cluster of television cameras formed a semi-circle in front of him, Blue Jays second baseman Aaron Hill seemed a little surprised at all the attention.

And even his teammates, emerging from the showers after the Blue Jays' 4-0 win over the Kansas City Royals yesterday, noticed Hill attracting more attention than he had in a while.

All that despite starter Roy Halladay earning his major-league leading 10th win, a complete-game, no-walk effort no less.

"Hillie, what did you do?" shouted reliever Scott Downs from across the room.

Before Hill could respond, teammate Kevin Millar jumped in: "He hit a curveball night-night," he said.

True, Hill launched a 1-2 curveball over the left-field fence in the third inning. But he also did a little more than just that.

Thanks, Oz.

I have a man-crush on Aaron Hill.

And Overbeast's overblast was ridic.

I don't care if he spends the whole season courting the Mendoza line, lines like "He hit a curveball night-night." demonstrate why this team needs Kevin Millar.

Preferably on the bench and not in a starting role.

Yeah that'd be ideal. I'm still hoping that the team will bring in a bat with some pop to take that DH job, but I'm not holding my breath.
