Bill Hall DFA

[jjkoestler]

Per MLB Trade Rumors

The Giants designated infielder Bill Hall for assignment to open a roster spot for newly-acquired Carlos Beltran, tweets Hank Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle.

Hall, 31, hit .158/.220/.211 in 41 plate appearances for the Giants,

playing mostly second base. He'd been released by the Astros previously

after signing a $3MM contract in December.

He'd probably be better at short than Yuni!

We'll see if Doug kicks the tires on Hall.

[StearnsFTW]

We'll see if Doug kicks the tires on Hall.

Dear God I hope not.

[chuckiehacks]

We're getting the band back together!

I actually wouldn't be opposed to a minor league deal - then just bring him up for the Cards series for a few walk offs.

[Warning Track Power]

Welcome back to Milwaukee Bill...you're cheap and free. Ugh. I was all for this earlier this season when Houston DFA'd him but now we need something far more substantial than Hall.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Couldn't be worse timing, lol.

[igor67]

Can we dig up Lenny harris to pinch hit instead of Counsell too? Since we're getting the band back together.

[endaround]

Hall looks done. His 2010 such as it was looks to be an aberration and his 2008, 2009, and 2011 looks more realistic.

[CheezWizHed]

then just bring him up for the Cards series for a few walk offs.

 

Wasn't that the Reds? Career OPS is 938 against the Reds anyway. Career OPS is 1.438 with a pink bat.

 

Anyway, he has been injured since July 8th.

[RockCoCougars]

This makes way too much sense to actually happen. I'm surprised that the Reds wouldn't be interested in him.

[DHonks]

Hall looks statistically similar to Betancourt. not sure how this would be an upgrade

[kalle8]

and he can play CF vs lefties..

[adamb100]

Guessing Hall's career is about over. He's been jumping teams alot.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Nobody congratulates his teammates on a big fly like Billy Hall.

[bjkrautk]

...but can he still pitch?

[pebadger]

You can say Hall is done and be right. The sad thing is, you can say Hall would be an upgrade to the Brewer lineup and also be right.

[davego]

So its down to either Billy Hall or digging up the remains of EY...

[chadomac]

We're getting the band back together!

Hahaha, I laughed a lot when I read this.

[The Truth]

and sadly, even Bill Hall would be an upgrade over Craig Counsell right now

[DuWayne Steurer]

I would neither be excited or disappointed if the Brewers signed Hall for the rest of the year. He's not going to set the world on fire, and it's not like he could be a lot worse than 3/4ths of the infield we already have out there.

[endaround]

Hall's defense looks to have collapsed to Betancourtian levels so he likely would be worse at 2B

[Crash2303]

Do you think he'd be worse than Eric Farris?

[bigredrobbo]

and sadly, even Bill Hall would be an upgrade over Craig Counsell right now

ANNIE Hall would be an upgrade over Counsell tight now!
