Yuck I dont like it really to be honest. But like you said you did take a chance. GL with it

Don't like it? Hill's playing way over his head right now; he flipped him for an established fantasy stud on the DL. (Ensberg and Chavez are a wash.)

Smart move if you ask me.

Anyone seeking power takes Glaus over Hill. Though Hill has the ability to be a semi-decent 20HR guy in the future, I dont think he is ready to jump that level this year yet.

That's not the typical career track of a future 20HR hitter.

No, but I am sure you can find just as many examples of players without proven track records who go on to hit 20HR a year as there is players with proven track records who dont do it.

Yeah, they're called "exceptions", not norms.
