Should have said Hill was very good not great. The key part of the sentence was the fact that he is not a great hitter.

As for the comment "their isn't one batter on the team that another team would be concerned on" thats bogus anytime you have a guy on the team with 31 HRs the opposing pitcher is concerned.

There are plenty of guys in the majors that can hit HR's. Hill is still too easy to get out to be that concerned with him at the plate for any pitcher.

Starting Pitching staff is almost all rookies (Cecil, Richmond, Romero and Rzepczynski)

And they are doing a hell of a job getting the team wins. Just because young guys are forced to pitch in the majors doesn't mean that it is going to be a good thing going forward. It isn't like these guys are up here because of their stellar performances.

To say their is nothing impressve about the starting pitching staff is to funny, Jays have Marcum returning next season, Litsch should be back, not to mention Romero, Cecil, Richmond and Rzepczynski .... they have tonnes of depth.

Tons of depth of #4/5 pitchers is nice but not great. Romero looks like he could be better than that, Cecil perhaps in 2-3 years and Marcum if healthy can be a very good #3 guy, but the others are all back of the rotation/minor league guys, having them around is nice but isn't going concern anyone.
To me it sounds a lot like the comments for the past 3-4 years about the Blue Jays and yet we still see nothing from it. At some point all this pitching depth is going to have to do a lot more than look good.
