		Peter Gammons speculates that Shea Hillenbrand and Josh Fogg may be among the players that are non-tendered (not offered arbitration) by their current ball clubs.
		Hillenbrand hasn't shown much as far as production at Coors but I'm sure he'd adapt and if the Rockies signed him I'd be willing to bet that he posts better numbers than what Vinnie Castillo will come up with in Washington.
		Hillenbrand would cost the Diamondbacks about $3.5 million if they gave him arbitration and that may be too much (especially if they really plan on trying to keep Richie Sexson).

		Hillenbrand, you may remember, started the 2002 season on fire, setting Red Sox Nation hearts aflutter and confounding statheads everywhere.
		In Hillenbrand's case, you had a player who never hit well, who still didn't walk even when he was producing, possibly only posting a peak season as he turned 27 in July, while playing for the same team in the same park.
		The risk-averse GM can always argue that he thought that this was the player's breakthrough year, and in the long run, he can claim that it's the player who let everyone down.

		Hillenbrand's a "proven commodity" and is a "former All-Star" but it's a mistake to spend $4 million on him.
		Hillenbrand is clearly a case of JP settling (and I'm sure privately that's how he feels).

		Hillenbrand is a fine hitter, but his lack of discipline doesn't bode well for future success.
		His plate discipline sucks, his early season tears masked plate mediocrity and he always had a look on his face like he'd killed the real Shea Hillenbrand and was about to get caught, but he (for whatever reason) looked like someone who hustled all the time.
		Anyway, Hillenbrand was so hyped last year at the start, then noone seemed to really notice how bad he turned.
