Scouting Report:
Bell plays the
game at full tilt, making him a perennial fan favorite. All five tools
are average-to-above-average but none are spectacular. Average power
potential, hits well to all fields. Very good plate discipline. Takes
advantage of mistakes. Decent speed for his build, which is somewhat
stocky, perhaps Trot-Nixon-esque. Plays all positions of the outfield
well, fits well in center or in right as he has a strong arm. Good
range. One of the most well-liked teammates in the organization. Bell
had a breakout season in 2007, and followed that up with nice success in
Double-A before going down with a stress fracture in his leg. As a
player that goes all out, Bell has a tendency to be somewhat
injury-prone.
