However, like I've said numerous times before, things happen and injuries always come to light in the spring, so anything is possible. Counting on Hill to last through the season would be unreasonable given his track record, so I still expect Kyle Drabek to get his fair shake in 2011 and to be the first to get the call.

Also, I think that Shawn Hill is still very much involved in the rotation discussions for next season. He's been excellent in every season when he's been healthy, and I really see him getting a shot. That said, I don't believe that the Jays want to expose Drabek to the PCL, and he has nothing left to prove at AA. I'm feeling pretty strongly that the Jays are going to move at least one pitcher this offseason.
