Arron Hill had a great season in 2009 where he had 36 homers with 108 RBIs and a batting average of .286 with 42 walks and it has been sandwiched around 2 bad season with a .205 batting average even though he hit 26 homers with 68 RBIs and 22 doubles and 41 walks. While in 2008 he played 55 games and had 14 doubles, 2 homers, 20 RBIs, 16 walks, and a .269 batting average as he was concussed going after a fly ball and he got run into by David Eckstein's elbow when neither called the other one off to catch and David ran Arron Hill over and he was gone for the rest of the season. He started his Blue Jays career with 3 solid seasons with single digit homers but had 47 doubles in 2007, 28 doubles in 2006, 25 doubles in 2005 with batting average of .291 in 2006 in 160 games and 2007 in 155 games and .274 in 2005 in 105 games. His contract future is up in the air because he had club options for the next 3 seasons of 8 mil for 2012 & 2013 and 10 mil for 2014 and the Blue Jays have decided to not pick up any of them and now the question is what will the Blue Jays do with the 29 year old Hill.
