13 Years Ago Today The Blue Jays traded Aaron Hill and John McDonald to the Diamondbacks for Kelly Johnson. I remember the trade mostly because I was in Fernie, BC. This was back when WIFI wasn’t everywhere, and there were Internet Cafes. Fernie had one, and you went there and used one of their computers to access the Internet. It was not a fun way to do a post. Anyway, Aaron Hill wasn’t having a great year in 2011. He was hitting .205/.270/.313 with 6 home runs in 104 games.
We are always looking for that left-handed hitting power bat. He hit some better for that last month with the Jays . Unfortunately, he returned to his non-hitting ways in 2012, putting up a .225/.313/.365 with 16 home runs in 142 games. After that season, he signed with the Rays as a free agent and bounced from team to team for three years before retiring after the 2016 season. Hill played five good seasons with the Diamondbacks, hitting .273/.331/.
