Hill's Head

Aaron Hill joins the list of players taking a very long time to recover from a concussion:

"I've heard all the stories," Hill said of the Matheny case. "He was telling Jeremy, `Just tell him don't push it; it's the worst thing to do.'"

Hill is heeding Matheny's words. And if avoiding stress is the way to go, then there's a certain serendipity that he and the Jays were able to reach agreement on a guaranteed multi-year contract in May. Goals collide. Hill won't worry about his future and the Jays aren't pressured to rush him back. Perfect.

"You could look at it that way," Hill said. "Obviously, for anybody it's nice to have that security. But even if it didn't happen, I'm still young. I still have a long time to play. It would have been one year of a setback."

The Jays were 30-25 with Hill playing, 23-27 without him.
