Baseball America - Top 10 Prospects: Toronto Blue Jays
My gut tells me Hill will be similar to Reed Johnson - .280ish with high single digit HR and SB. he does have the beneift of SS eligibility and will gain 3B eligibility when Toronto plays again.
As I do not see rapid HR and SB accumulation, I'd advise holding off activating him. He could play poorly at the outset which would likely lead to Hillenbrand seeing time at 3B and Catalonotto getting close to FT DH ABs.
If your league has rules that prevent a team from protecting ROY-eligible minor league draftees once they have been activated to your active roster, then definitely wait.
If you have a middle infield opening (say Rey Sanchez or Jason Bartlett's slot) then Hill would be a good activation if he gets off to a a decent start.
If you can move him from reserves to active without any 2006 costs and have the slot available, activate him.
If someone else wants to pay more than a Reed Johnson or Mark Ellis, then trade him.
