Lefty Hill on his way to Viera after signing minor league deal
By Josh Land
VIERA, Fla. - The Nationals have agreed to terms with left-handed pitcher Rich Hill on a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.
The Angels released Hill last summer after he failed to get an out in two relief appearances. The Yankees signed him to a minor league deal in July. He bounced back and forth from Triple-A to the majors, posting a 1.69 ERA over 14 appearances with New York.
The 34-year-old Hill spent the early part of his career as a starter with the Cubs and Orioles before transitioning to the bullpen. Hill could compete for a role as a situational left-hander. Nats manager Matt Williams has said he might use his relievers in more matchup situations late in games this year.
Hill has a 24-22 career record with a 4.72 ERA.
