Staff report
Left-hander Rich Hill, who struggled with control problems during his Cubs career and was non-tendered by the Baltimore Orioles after last season, has signed a free-agent deal with the St. Louis Cardinals, according to the team's official Twitter feed.
Hill, who had a 7.80 ERA in 13 starts (and one relief appearance) for the Orioles in 2009, missed the second half of the season after undergoing left-shoulder surgery. He was invited to the Cardinals' spring-training camp on a non-roster basis.
Hill, 29, went 11-8 with a 3.92 ERA for the Cubs in 2007 but struggled with wildness and was demoted to the minors during the 2008 season.
In other ex-Cubs news, the Padres will sign 41-year-old Matt Stairs to a minor-league deal, according to a tweet from ESPN's Jerry Crasnick.

I'll take Nady over Jim Edmonds or Reed Johnson any day of the week. Ben Sheets is a huge injury risk & Rich Hill is a head case & an injury risk.
You are a moron! I don't know if you think you are being funny, but if you do think that then you are sadly mistaken. Either go jump in the lake, or go call Boers and Bernstein and bother them with your dumb ramblings. I think they would love to hear from you!
