Hill's quick start a distant memory: Diamondbacks second baseman Aaron Hill ended his multi-hit skid Wednesday against the Dodgers. Hill went 3 for 3, producing his first multi-hit game since going 3 for 4 on May 8. Hill added two RBI and one walk on Wednesday. He hit just .174 (8 for 46) in between multi-hit games.

Fantasy Analysis
May has not been kind to Hill, who is batting just .200 with one homer and five RBI in 20 games this month. It's a shame too seeing how Hill was productive in April. He hit .266 with a .363 OBP, .481 slugging percentage, .844 OPS, four homers, 10 RBI and 13 runs in 22 April games. Let's hope Hill returns to being that type of hitter in June. For now, he is just a low-end Fantasy starter in deep mixed leagues. (Updated 05/24/2012).

After serving as the Diamondbacks' second baseman for the last five weeks of the season, Arizona decided to bring Aaron Hill back to man the keystone position in 2012. Hill arrived in Phoenix through a swap of second basemen, as Kelly Johnson went from the Diamondbacks to the Blue Jays. In his short trial in Arizona, Hill reversed nearly two full years of bad batting averages by hitting .315. Hill boosted his average with 12 doubles in just 124 at-bats, and eight of those came in Chase and Coors Fields, the NL's two best doubles parks. The change of venue bodes well for Hill, and while he isn't likely to hit close to .300 over a full season, he is a strong candidate for a bounceback season. Putting disappointing 2010 and 2011 seasons behind him, Hill will be worth taking in the later rounds of standard mixed league drafts. (Updated 1/9/12)
