Red Sox promote ex-Dodger Rich Hill, who was coaching son's Little League team earlier this year. He will be lone player to have appeared in the majors in the last 20 seasons.
Rich Hill can be excused for developing a particular affection for the Boston Red Sox. Nine years ago they plucked him from the Long Island Ducks of the independent Atlantic League, providing Hill a window to squeeze back into the big leagues when it appeared he was washed up at age 35. It's Boston to the rescue again, promoting the 44-year-old lanky left-hander Tuesday after he made just a single two-inning appearance in triple-A.
He's made 248 starts among 382 appearances for 13 different teams — the Chicago Cubs, Baltimore Orioles, Cleveland Indians, New York Yankees, Oakland Athletics, Minnesota Twins, New York Mets, Tampa Bay Rays, Pittsburgh Pirates, San Diego Padres and Angels in addition to the Dodgers and Red Sox. His eyeblink with the Angels in 2014 qualifies as a nadir.
