Bill Hall considers himself the best 3B in baseball 

Post#1 » by SportsWorld » Wed Jul 22, 2009 1:54 am

Oh boy.

Brewers infielder Bill Hall emerged from a closed-door meeting with his bosses on Saturday and insisted that he hasn't given up on turning around his dismal 2009 season.

"I still consider myself the best third baseman in the league," Hall said.

He'll get another chance on Sunday, when the Brewers mark the season's unofficial midpoint against left-hander Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers. Manager Ken Macha said he intends to start Hall at third base in Milwaukee's final game before Major League Baseball's All-Star break, which will be broadcast nationally on TBS with Chip Caray and Buck Martinez on the call.

Hall, who enters the first-half finale hitting .198, would not say much about his Saturday afternoon sit-down with general manager Doug Melvin, assistant GM Gord Ash and Macha. Asked what they talked about, Macha was also mum.

Yunel Escobar would be the best 3B if he played 3B.

Hall's a good defender. That's about it. That and he's versatile I guess.

Edit: Hall just hit an RBI double proving his is indeed the best 3B in the league.

He's not even the best 3rd baseman in his organization, man. Mat Gamel says hello.

The best third baseman in baseball has just been sent to AAA Nashville.

Boston could use a SS. Hall can play SS. They should claim him so the Brewers don't have to pay him. :D

And with Brett Wallace in Sacramento, he might not even be the best 3B in that league...

He wasn't even the second best third baseman on his AAA team. Mat Gamel had him beat as did Adam Heether.
