CINCINNATI -- Why would a team dive headlong into rebuilding and burn a starting spot on a 34-year-old who may be on the downside of his career?
Some Brewers fans have been asking that question about Aaron Hill, the veteran infielder who has started 27 of the Brewers' 31 games. The second-guessers grew louder when Hill followed an unproductive Spring Training with a slow start to the regular season, but Hill has quieted critics of late with a hitting streak that reached eight games Saturday, when he matched franchise records with three home runs and seven RBIs.
