Bill Hall Article

Over at Yahoo, there is a good article about Bill Hall. It doesn't have a whole lot of fantasy relevance but it has a nice personal touch on it. The article compares Hall to Michael Young. As some people may have forgotten, when Young was called up he was also a utility player. Actually, he came up as a 2B and when the Rangers traded A-Rod, they asked Young to move to SS to make room for Soriano, well Young has blossomed into a good SS and Soriano, well, he's in CF now. Anyway, Hall will be starting the season as the Brewers CF after playing almost all IF positions last year. He is still being drafted as a SS in Fantasy Leagues and hopefully he can play enough at SS this year to retain eligibility -- he's the 4th SS on the team now.

One noteable quote to leave you with before I send you to check out the article for yourself:

'"Everybody knew I could hit home runs eventually," [Hall] said. "I used to try. Last year I stopped trying and started letting it happen."'

Isn't that how it always happens?
