Tuesday afternoon the Orioles claimed catcher Luis Exposito off waivers from the Boston Red Sox. To make room on the 40 man for the new guy, the O’s DFA’d Josh Bell.
Bell was the future star acquired by the Orioles in the George Sherrill trade with the Dodgers. He and pitcher Steve Johnson came to Baltimore when flat breezy left in 2009. Johnson remains at Triple-A, eagerly awaiting a call up, while Bell appears to be a lost cause.
Bell hasn’t been playing at third base for the Norfolk Tides so far this season. He’s been DH’ing and played at both first base and right field. Bell has just three hits in 32 at bats. Those three hits are two doubles and a home run.
Farewell, Josh. I’ll always remember you as the guy that hit two bombs off of Cliff Lee on August 21, 2010, not as the guy that showed up last to this year’s Spring Training or hit .200 in 79 big league games.
See ya, Josh.
Has any of these clowns that were received when the O’s made all those trades and the media and fans said that these guys were going to be stars and put the Orioles back on the map still here?
Man, I remember how the media was touting these pickups as a steal for the Orioles…
Just like everything the Orioles do, it eventually turns to a big pile of crap…
Did you forget Adam Jones?!?!
Jones will be gone first chance he gets…
Lesson learned young man. You were given a gift, decided not to harvest it and grow, so long. I hear Giant and Safeway here in Annapolis need baggers.
More of the same from this organization,,,,,,,it’s more than old…………
Practice man makes a perfect, hey Josh Bell. We love to you though you should to do more practice for reaching your Target. Thanks for sharing 🙂
