Newsbreakers
September 16, 2009
Bill Hall (quad) is considered day-to-day by the Mariners, according to the Seattle Times.
Our View:
He left Tuesday's game with supposedly only cramps, but was sore and unable to play on Wednesday. He will likely return sometime this weekend. In 21 games since coming to Seattle, he is hitting .244 with one home run and eight RBI.
September 11, 2009
Bill Hall had a fine day at the plate despite the final score of the game. He went 3-for-3 in the Mariners' 3-0 loss to the Angels.
Our View:
Hall was the lone bright spot Thursday and provided 60 percent of his team's total hits. Still, while he's been better with the M's than the Brewers, he's not consistent enough to merit any fantasy consideration.
September 4, 2009
Bill Hall was 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, and two runs scored on Thursday in the Mariners' 7-4 win over the A's.
Our View:
Hall has come up big over the last two days for his new team, but he is still far from a good fantasy play. He has fallen a long way this season, and there is no reason to think he will put up numbers consistently in September.
September 2, 2009
Bill Hall played second base for the Mariners on Wednesday and not only made two dazzling defensive plays, but doubled in the game winning run in the seventh inning of the Mariners 3-0 win.
Our View:
Hall finished the day 1-for-4, but certainly made an impact Wednesday. Still, he's hitting below .230 with his new club, and while that's an improvement from what he did in Milwaukee, he should be avoided in all fantasy formats.
August 21, 2009
Bill Hall is in the Mariners' lineup for their Friday night game against the Indians. Hall is hitting sixth and playing left field.
Our View:
Kind of surprising that Hall is in left tonight, but manager Don Wakamatsu said he will use Hall all over the field. We still expect that most of his time will be at third base until Adrian Beltre returns, but he can pretty much play anywhere.
August 21, 2009
MLB.com is reporting that new Mariner Bill Hall will likely see his first action with the team on Friday. Hall was acquired by the team in a trade with the Brewers on Wednesday.
Our View:
It seems likely that Hall will see most of his time at third base while Adrian Beltre is on the DL, but he should get some experience at several different positions. Perhaps some new scenery will help Hall resurrect his awful 2009 season, but it's not worth the risk for fantasy owners to take that chance on him.
August 20, 2009
According to the Seattle Times, the Mariners plan to play new acquisition Bill Hall at multiple positions once he proves he's up to the challenge.
Our View:
Hall gets a second chance in Seattle after putting together a miserable season with the Brewers (.201/.265/.341). Known for his versatility, he'll move around the infield as the Mariners need him and has experience in the outfield as well. The bulk of his starts will likely come at third base, at least for the time being while Adrian Beltre is on the DL with an injured testicle.
August 19, 2009
Bill Hall has been shipped from Milwaukee to Seattle, according to the Seattle Times. It is believed that the Brewers will get minor league pitcher Ruben Flores in the deal.
Our View:
Hall has been struggling in Milwaukee, but may not benefit from a fresh start in Seattle, especially while playing his home games at pitcher-friendly Safeco Field.
August 18, 2009
According to MLBlogs.com, the Brewers are planning to move recently DFAed utility player Bill Hall.
Our View:
GM Doug Melvin says that he's working on a cooking up a deal for Hall, and so far he's gotten interest from some teams (who shall remain nameless). Designated for assignment last week, the Brewers have until Friday to do something will the slumping infielder. They will have to trade or release him and absorb the $10+ million on his contract.
August 12, 2009
Bill Hall has been designated for assignment by the Brewers, according to the Twitter page of Tyler Barnes, the team's VP of communications. In a corresponding move, the team purchased the contract of Jason Bourgeois.
Our View:
Hall is having an absolutely abysmal season, and it looks like the Brewers have finally given up on him. The talent is still there, but until he shows he can put it together, Hall will have trouble winning a major league job.
August 3, 2009
Bill Hall has been recalled by the Brewers from Triple-A Nashville, according to TSN. Corey Hart (appendicitis) was placed on the DL as the adjoining move.
Our View:
Hall could see time in the outfield while Hart is out, but Hall's fantasy stock remains low, as he held a dismal .201 batting average prior to being sent down to the minors.
July 30, 2009
Bill Hall has been optioned to Triple-A Nashville by the Brewers, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
Our View:
He holds an anemic .201 batting average, and agreed to his demotion to the minors to work on his hitting. He should not be missed in fantasy leagues.
June 27, 2009
According to MLBlogs.com, struggling utility man Bill Hall gets the start at third base for Saturday's contest.
Our View:
Hall is hitting just .259 with five homers this year, but gets the nod against the Giants' Barry Zito. Craig Counsell gets the day off and Casey McGehee takes over the duties as second base. Owners shouldn't rush to get Hall in for today's fantasy lineup.
June 11, 2009
Bill Hall is not in the Brewers starting lineup today against the Rockies as manager Ken Macha is giving him and other slumping players the day off according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Our View:
Hall has only one hit in the month of June, and is batting just .213 for the year. He should not be on your fantasy team.
May 14, 2009
Bill Hall went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Thursday's 5-3 win over Florida at Miller Park.
Our View:
He collected his fourth homer of the season, with two coming at Miller Park. Hall realizes he needs to perform well with top prospect Mat Gamel recalled from the minors to push him for playing time at third base.
May 7, 2009
MLB.com is reporting that Bill Hall returned to the Brewers' lineup on Thursday. Hall had missed the last two games with cramps in his right hamstring.
Our View:
Hall is batting seventh in the order tonight, and he says that he is 100% healthy. He should be good to go in the future.
May 6, 2009
Updating an earlier report, Bill Hall is not in tonight's lineup at Cincinnati, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
Our View:
He will be missing his second straight game with a hamstring cramp. It was previously expected that he would return tonight. Craig Counsell will cover third base in Hall's absence.
May 6, 2009
Bill Hall is expected to return to the diamond tonight at Cincinnati after missing Tuesday's game with a right hamstring cramp, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
Our View:
Hall should be safe to consider for fantasy lineups. Hall hit 18 home runs over 285 career at-bats against the Reds.
May 5, 2009
Bill Hall is out of Tuesday's lineup after suffering a slight hamstring strain Monday, according to the Milwaukee-Journal Sentinel.
Our View:
Hall was hurt making a diving catch in left field while filling in for Braun, who is returning to the lineup today. Consider him day-to-day.
May 4, 2009
Bill Hall made his first career start in left field on Monday, but it didn't last long as he left in the second inning after injuring himself diving for a ball.
Our View:
No word on how severe the injury is, but it appears to be a hamstring cramp which would not be serious. We will keep you updated on his condition.
April 25, 2009
Bill Hall went 3-for-6 with a home run, a stolen base, four RBI, and a run scored as the Brewers beat the Astros 9-8 in 11 innings on Saturday.
Our View:
Hall more than doubled his RBI total tonight and now stands at seven on the season. He has 13 strikeouts and three walks on the season, pointing to the fact that his batting eye has not improved and continues to hinder his production.
March 18, 2009
Bill Hall was 1-for-3 in Wednesday's 4-1 victory, but left four runners stranded on the base paths. He is hitting .300 this spring.
Our View:
Last season Hall was a huge disappointment, and his trouble with right handed pitching has been his demise. Once a promising fantasy IF/OF Hall has dropped to the bottom of drafts boards, if not completely off.
March 11, 2009
Third baseman Bill Hall could play this weekend for the first time this spring. He took batting practice and played catch on Wednesday as he works his way back from a torn calf muscle.
Our View:
Hall has been a disappointment most of the past two seasons, and if he proves he can't hit righties soon, he will not be more than a platoon player for the remainder of his career.
March 4, 2009
The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that Bill Hall's injured calf is steadily improving. He has participated in hitting and fielding drills and has graduated to some light running.
Our View:
The Brewers aren't rushing Hall back any time soon, but he'll definitely see some action during spring training.
February 20, 2009
Bill Hall is improving in his recovery from a partially torn calf, but is doubtful to be ready to participate in Cactus League games next week, according to MLB.com. He said, "I suppose there is always a possibility. But head athletic trainer Roger Caplinger does not want me to rush back in. We have got a lot of games down here, and if I miss one week, I do not think it is going to be that detrimental." He was able to take swings in the batting cage today, which went well.
Our View:
Hall has pop in his bat, but has been inconsistent, which forced him into a platoon twice last season. Hall could land on the bench this season, namely if Mat Gamel is ready to take over at third.
February 15, 2009
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that Bill Hall hopes to be back from a partially torn calf within a couple of weeks. It was orignially prognosticated that he would miss four to six weeks.
Our View:
Hall would be wise to let his injury properly heal, as it is the type of thing that would just become easier and easier to re-injure if it's not 100 percent.
February 13, 2009
As expected, Brewers third baseman Bill Hall is expected to miss four weeks with a partial tear in his left calf muscle, the Associated Press reports. Hall could be out as long as six weeks.
Our View:
Recently acquired Mike Lamb, who finalized a one-year deal with Milwaukee in December, could end up seeing a majority of the reps at third during the spring and may end up platooning with Hall there during the season.
February 13, 2009
Bill Hall suffered a partial tear of the left calf muscle and will be on the shelf during spring training for at least four weeks, according to the Sports Network. He was injured during conditioning.
Our View:
Hall has power, but his low batting average and OBP leave a bit to be desired. The injury looks to hurt his bid to be the Brewers' starting third baseman for opening day.
