{allcanada} Hill signs minor-league deal

MIAMI -- Canadian right-hander Shawn Hill has signed a minor-league contract with the Florida Marlins and received an invitation to spring training.

The native of Mississauga, Ont., underwent elbow ligament replacement surgery for the second time in June 2009. He returned last September and went 1-2 with a 2.61 ERA in four late-season starts for Toronto.

Hill has a 9-18 record in 44 career starts with four teams.

Infielder Greg Dobbs also signed a minor league deal with an invite to spring training.

Dobbs batted .196 in 88 games with Philadelphia last year. He is a career .260 hitter with 31 homers and 64 pinch-hits in seven big league seasons.
