Is Hall one of the best kept secrets in major league baseball? Since he doesn't play in New York, Boston, or Chicago, he may be. That guy scares the crap out of me every time he comes to the plate.
He's also trying to move from infield to CF too, with familar results,
Milwaukee’s Bill Hall is still trying to make the adjustment from the infield to the outfield.
He still flips the ball from the glove to his free hand after fielding a base hit. That’s okay at shortstop, but not in center where a dropped flip can cost runs.
It happened both Tuesday and Wednesday nights, when Hall committed run-scoring errors.
Manager Ned Yost says it’s never a good idea for an outfielder to flip the ball and Hall didn’t when he was learning his new post at spring training. Hall admits he couldn’t shake the habit, but he’ll have to.
He has also had problems running back on shots hit over his head. Yost says Hall still gets out of control, instead of running in a steady motion.
But the manager said he expected these kind of growing pains and he still believes Hall will make a good outfielder in due time.
