Rich Hill has had the journeyman label for most of his 18-year major-league career, suiting up for 11 different clubs. That of course doesn't count the minors, winter ball and a stint in independent ball.

The Pirates officially announced the signing of Hill to a one-year, $8 million deal Thursday, giving a young rotation and clubhouse a veteran voice and southpaw.
