Two people familiar with the deal say second baseman Aaron Hill has reached an agreement to re-sign with the Arizona Diamondbacks. The two people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Monday because the deal, for $11 million over two seasons, has not been announced. Arizona acquired Hill and utility infielder John McDonald from Toronto for second baseman Kelly Johnson late last season. After hitting just .225 with six home runs in Toronto, Hill batted .314 with two homers and 16 RBIs in the final 33 games to help the surprising Diamondbacks with the NL West title. McDonald already has re-signed with Arizona. The Diamondbacks had declined an $8 million option on Hill for 2012, but he had expressed interest in reaching a new agreement with the club.

Aaron Hill And Predictability
