Game 84, Sean Burnett at Shawn Hill

In the battle of first names, Sean vs. Shawn is up there with John vs. Jon, Bo vs. Beau, and Caitlynn vs. Katelynn vs. Kaitlin etc.

Shawn Hill is a 6'2," 185-pound right-handed 23-year-old Canadian. He's a finesse guy who looked good in spring training and was called up from a good season at AA to make a start for the then-injured Tony Armas. In two starts, he's put up crazy numbers: 11.57 K/9, which way out of line with his minor-league performance (49 Ks in 78 innings), and 10.57 ERA, which is also way out of line with his minor-league performance (2.87). He made 14 starts for Harrisburg this year. Probably, some of our readers have seen him pitch this year.
