Player Notes
September 12, 2007
Bill Hall was not in the starting lineup Tuesday for the second straight night and the sixth time in the last eight games. Manager Ned Yost has been playing Corey Hart in center and Gabe Gross in right against right-handed pitching. "I think Billy understands that you can win a game last just as easily as you can starting a game," Yost said in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "He's willing to do whatever it takes to help this team win, too. There's no room for selfishness this time of the year. There's not. Billy's done a great job of being there supporting everybody and doing what he can do any given day to help this team win."
August 30, 2007
Bill Hall, in a 4-for-24 slump, was held out of Wednesday's lineup. He picked up a late at-bat in the game, lining out in the ninth.
July 25, 2007
The Brewers activated Bill Hall from the DL on Wednesday, according to Sports Ticker. He had been out since July 6 with a high ankle sprain. Hall, who is hitting .271 with nine homers and 38 RBI on the year, will go back to manning center field for the Brewers.
July 23, 2007
Bill Hall, on the DL with a sprained ankle, will begin a rehab assignment Monday with the Rookie Arizona Brewers, according to the AP. He's expected to play with the team on Monday and Tuesday, and barring any setbacks, he'll be activated on Wednesday.

Bill Hall is slated to head out Sunday to begin a brief rehab assignment. He'll play with the Brewers' Arizona Rookie League club on Monday and Tuesday, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. If all goes well with his sprianed ankle, Hall will be activated from the disabled list on Wednesday.
July 19, 2007
Bill Hall, who is battling a sprained right ankle, took fly balls in the outfield during batting practice Wednesday and is doing more running, including making turns, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. Hall is expected to take some batting practice on Thursday for the first time since his injury. He is on pace to return next week.
July 18, 2007
Bill Hall (ankle) worked on lateral movements Tuesday, the Brewers official site reports. He is eligible to return from the DL on Friday but conceded that is unlikely; Hall expects to go on a rehab assignment before rejoining the big club.
July 13, 2007
Bill Hall believes he'll be able to return to action next weekend. "I might be a little bit ahead of schedule, I hope," Hall tells the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "I'm not looking at four to six (weeks). I'm looking when I come off the DL next Friday I'll be playing." He sprained his right ankle on July 5.
July 7, 2007
The Brewers placed Bill Hall on the disabled list prior to Friday's game due to his ankle injury. Manager Ned Yost said he expected Hall to miss 2-6 weeks of action, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. Hall has a high-ankle sprain, an injury that can linger for quite a while, though some players can make a quick recovery. Odds are he won't be back until at least late July.
July 6, 2007
Bill Hall likely won't be back on the field for a few weeks. He suffered a high right ankle sprain on Thursday afternoon. X-rays showed no fractures, and he will undergo an MRI soon. "I'll have to wait and see how much swelling there is," Hall tells the AP. "Hopefully I'm a quick healer." He has no timetable for his return.
July 5, 2007
Bill Hall left Thursday's game in the bottom of the second inning after injuring his right ankle. Hall twisted his ankle when attempting to rob Pirates catcher Ryan Doumit of a home run. He limped off the field with help from the trainers, the AP reports.

April 16, 2007
Bill Hall broke out of his 1-for-22 slump Monday by smashing his first career grand slam. Hall's been off to a rough start this season, as his lone hit in four at-bats in the game raised his average to .179.
April 14, 2007
Before last night's game was rained out, Brewers manager Ned Yost had planned to give Bill Hall his second straight game off, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "It gives Billy a chance to regroup and get back on track," Yost said. Hall is hitting just .194 this season.
April 10, 2007
Bill Hall not only is off to a 5-for-24 start at the plate, but he's also had some troubles in center field, his new position, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports. Hall's worst game of the year was probably Monday night, as he went 0-for-3 and had a miscue on the bases and in the field. "We're still going through some growing pains out there," manager Ned Yost said. "At shortstop, you don't go tremendous long distances for balls. You've got to stay up on your toes so your head stays smooth." The Brewers skipper didn't seem long-term concerned about Hall's defense, though. "Billy's going to be fine. He'll work through it."
March 7, 2007
Bill Hall hit his second homer of the spring Wednesday, the AP reports. Just as important was his play on defense, as he made a few impressive running catches in his new position, center field.
February 15, 2007
Manager Ned Yost confirmed Tuesday what had been everyone's inkling, that Bill Hall will be the Brewers' starting centerfielder in 2007, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "I'm going to put Billy in center," confirmed Yost. "When we start out, we're going to send Billy to center field and probably put Corey Hart in right." Some had thought that the Brewers may try Hall at one of the corner outfield spots.
February 5, 2007
Bill Hall signed a four-year, $24 million deal with the Brewers Monday, according to the AP. The deal includes a $9.25 team option for 2011. "The timing was just right," Hall told the newspaper in a telephone interview from Phoenix. "I always wanted to stay in Milwaukee. We've got a good thing going there. Now, I know I'll be there for a long time." Hall is slated to play center field for Milwaukee this season.
February 1, 2007
The Brewers are believed to be working on a long-term deal with Bill Hall, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "We've had some conversations about that, but I don't want to get into the details of it," said Melvin, who spoke Wednesday with Hall's agent, Gregg Clifton. "I'd like to keep that quiet." The club is apparently interested in buying out all three of Hall's arbitration years and possibly a year of free agency. Hall will move to the outfield in 2007, and it appears as though the tentative plan is to put him in center field.
January 31, 2007
Brewers GM Doug Melvin said that the team will not move Bill Hall back to third base even if Corey Koskie is unable to play at the start of the season, according to the Appleton Post-Crescent. Since prospect Ryan Braun is expected to be ready to take over third base no later than 2008, the Brewers don't want to put Hall in a situation where he'll have to change positions again.
