Seems like a decent enough way to clear a little payroll space and get a workable major leaguer in return. The Dbacks didn't want to pay Hill $12 mil. Chase Anderson was going to be the odd guy out of the rotation, and Collmenter is better in long relief rather than starting.
Segura gives them mix and match options at the middle infield positions with Owings, Segura, and Ahmed. I think they go with Owings at short and Segura at 2B though. Segura will probably leadoff also (whether that's the right move or not, given a 301 career OBP) and the DBacks needed a leadoff guy after including Inciarte in the Shelby Miller trade.
Milwaukee picks up a guy that can do baseball things in Aaron Hill and a good mid-rotation starter in Anderson.
