Blanco to DL; Koyie Hill Called Up

June 1, 2007 by cubsnet

Henry Blanco has a cervical herniated disc and the Cubs have placed him on the 15-day disabled list. They have called up Koyie Hill to take his place on the roster, which is interesting because Hill was not on the 40-man roster while Geovany Soto is. Also, Soto is having his best year at the plate, hitting .319/.383/.504. Hill is hitting .304/.346/.448. Hill has a lifetime OPS 20% below league average in 132 big league plate appearances. I'd love to know the explanation for bypassing Soto.
