Rays' third baseman Evan Longoria, Yankees' shortstop Derek Jeter, Blue Jays' second baseman Aaron Hill, Yankees' first baseman Mark Teixeira, Red Sox outfielder Jason Bay, Angels' outfielder Torii Hunter, Mariners' outfielder Ichiro Suzuki, Twins' catcher Joe Mauer, and Blue Jays' DH Adam Lind were the winners.

Our View: This was a nice mix of veterans and young players, and all had very nice seasons. Longoria is going to win plenty of these awards, and Hill and Lind were both rewarded for their breakout years. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Aaron_Hill/636819 636819 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 20:48:01 EDT fanball.com 9 days 13 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Aaron_Hill/636819 The Jays have claimed Jarrett Hoffpauir off waivers from the Cardinals, according to Toronto's official twitter page.

Our View: Hoffpauir could develop into a solid hitter in the majors, but could also be hindered by poor defensive skills. He won't start in Toronto as long as Aaron Hill remains intact at second base as well. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Aaron_Hill/618908 618908 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 18:44:02 EDT fanball.com 18 days 2 hours 17 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Aaron_Hill/618908 Jordan Bastian, of MLB.com, reports Toronto Blue Jays 2B Aaron Hill was named the 2009 Comeback Player of the Year as part of the 2009 Players Choice Awards.

Along the way, he gave fantasy owners plenty of bang for their buck, emerging from as a reserve player, at best, into a top-shelf second baseman. He might be moved to the three-spot of the lineup next year, meaning more RBI opportunities. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Aaron_Hill/567573 567573 Mon, 05 Oct 2009 15:48:21 EDT mlb.com 47 days 6 hours 12 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Aaron_Hill/567573 News: Chris Carpenter has been voted NL comeback player of the year and Aaron Hill has won the AL award.

Our View: Hill didn't come back as much as he emerged. In 158 games this season, he rapped 195 hits, hit 36 home runs and drove in 108, all career bests for the 27 year old. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Aaron_Hill/567253 567253 Mon, 05 Oct 2009 13:20:02 EDT fanball.com 47 days 8 hours 41 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Aaron_Hill/567253 Hill just keeps on hitting. He now has nine RBIs over his last 10 games and posted a cool .300-5-20 line in 110 September at-bats. He has been one of the breakout stars of the 2009 season thanks to an unexpected power surge that saw him launch a career-best 35 homers, but Hill clearly isn't letting up as the Jays play out the string. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Aaron_Hill/558491 558491 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 22:52:15 EDT mlb.com 51 days 23 hours 8 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Aaron_Hill/558491
