Can't hit righties.   Pretty good power for a 2b.  Not good OBP guy though, more of a slugging pct.  guy.

He's a great with a pink bat kinda guy.

Billy is an exciting and frustrating player. He was one of my favorites when in Milwaukee, because he had a penchant for hits in big situations. Hope he does well in Houston.

All around utility type of guy too.  Can play some outfield along with third base.  He was always one of my favorites, but like others have said he can frustrate you a lot.

surprised there are people from mke here who like Billy.

unnatural carnal knowledge bill hall. He's an overrated -and was an over paid- sack of crap. One good year in 2006 and now he cant hit over .200. I was literally the happiest brewer fan ever when the team finally got rid of him.

from a baseball level, i agree. he was overpaid, and he was a one year wonder. but what was he supposed to do, not sign the contract? and i always thought he was a really good community oriented type brewer from what little the public can tell of that sort of thing.  even though he might have been robbing the crew blind when he started hitting .200, i always sort of felt bad for him that he couldnt figure it out. i don't know why i feel different about bill hall than any other brewers with inflated contracts though, im admittedly probably just a sucker.
