Hill letting performance do talking 

Post#1 » by LittleOzzy » Sun Apr 12, 2009 2:49 am

Aaron Hill wants to let his play on the field do the talking. If the Blue Jays' first series of the year is any indication, people should start to realize that the second baseman is completely over the concussion that cost him most of last season.

Even so, Hill is still approached often with questions about that frightening moment last May 29, when he tumbled to the grass in Oakland after being struck on the side of the head during a collision with then-Jays shortstop David Eckstein. It's still a popular subject, considering Hill's battle with headaches and dizzy spells in the months that followed.

If Hill finds such inquiries annoying, he doesn't show it, smiling politely and offering answers that will hopefully bring an end to the topic soon. Hill would like nothing more than for others to accept that he is back and healthy. So far this season, the second baseman has done his part in proving that point to Toronto fans.

"I know I'm fine. I know I feel great," Hill said Friday. "Obviously, people may have doubts, thinking some things may linger -- doctors or whoever it may be. I know I feel great, so I really don't care what other people are thinking. I know that I'm having fun.

Hill's a stud and the real deal. This is his year. I think he'll knock in 80 this year with maybe 15 bombs and a .280 average.

That would be great to see. Of course in his breakout year his biggest weapon was the double, so hopefully he get belt 40+ again. That would make for a fantastic weapon in the 2 spot.

I really hope so. We really need production from our infield.
