- C Koyie Hill is one of the Cubs' arbitration-eligible players, but the Cubs figure to get a deal done with Hill and have both sides come away happy well before a hearing can be held. Hill, 30, a career backup, got into 83 games and supplanted starter Geovany Soto for several stretches. Hill hit only .237 with two homers, but he threw out 40 percent (20 of 50) of would-be base stealers, and Cubs pitchers like throwing to him.(Yahoo! Sports)
