Hill started 26 games last season for Boston, losing most of July with a knee issue. He averaged just under five innings per outing, but still managed to win eight games for the last place Red Sox. Much like Eddie Harris in Major League, Hill threw every piece of junk he could think of at 'em, save the snot. He'd flip his 88-mph fastball and 72-mph curveball to the plate from various arm angles. All things considered, his 13.7% K-BB wasn't terrible for the then 42-year-old southpaw. Hill finished the season on a high note, fanning 15 over his final two starts, each lasting six frames. He can help chew up innings for the Pirates after inking a one-year deal, but the days of being a fantasy asset are likely over, save for favorable matchups in deep leagues.
