When the San Francisco Giants signed Aaron Hill, it was basically a veteran upgrade to Kelby Tomlinson. They knew what they were getting. His major league track record is pretty solid, and he can play all over the infield. But, that’s about it.
I know the title seems a little harsh. He’s a good vet, and definitely deserves to be on this roster (at least at the moment). However, giving him chances to bat leadoff, or cleanup, before other deserving people is almost a betrayal to the players who have been in this organization, and proven themselves in those situations.
