Say It Ain't So(re)!

This little tidbit from Scott Carson's latest doesn't shock me, saddens me a little, but doesn't shock me...

"That's why the whispers that Aaron Hill will be put on the DL to start the second half with a sore knee just makes you shake your head."

Sportnet first mentioned the sore knee in the wrap-up article about the Jays win over the Indians on Sunday. I mentioned it in My Pre-"All-Star Break" Break.

One of the greatest things about being a diehard is that when you watch them every game (or almost every game)...you learn their idiosyncracies. As I've now found out, it can also be a sucky thing 'cause you can tell when something's not on (i.e. Hilly's knee.) Here's hoping he can avoid his first DL trip, but I have to wonder what's caused the soreness.

However, in happy Hill news, I have to agree with Jays beat writer Jordan Bastian with this prediction:

"Toronto second baseman Aaron Hill didn't garner much attention in terms of All-Star votes, but his steady glove work has turned heads throughout the first half. When the season's all said and done, the young infielder will have a Gold Glove Award to add to his mantel."

Keep your fingers crossed.
