Heh, hopefully Burnett doesnt become another Sirotka or Hansen for us. Though really, I don't see another team in the division that has all the answers in the rotation either.

As for Hill, below is a quote from the Jays Manager. Take note on his comments on Hills Defensive play.
"I have all the confidence in the world in the kid. He'll battle through it," Gibbons said. "In all fairness to the guy,
he's still showing up to play every day hard and he's played very good defense. ... His average is down big time, but he's done some clutch things for us, too. You can't forget that."
