Mets Acquire Bubba Bell From Indians

An article by Craig Lerner

The Mets have acquired outfielder Bubba Bell from the Indians for cash considerations.

The Indians had only aquired Bell in like manner from the Red Sox on March 31.

Bell, 28, spent last season at AAA Pawtucket, where he hit .293 with 17 doubles, 6 home runs and 49 RBIs in 104 games. He was hitting .292 in eight games this season for the Indians Triple-A affiliate.

He owns a career minor league average of .292, and has been with the Red Sox his entire six-year professional career since 2005 after being drafted by Boston in the 39th round of the 2005 draft out of Nicholls State.

Bell has been assigned to Triple-A Buffalo where he will provide some depth as Lucas Duda is still on the mend and F-Mart has been called up.

If Jason Bay gets hurt again, Bell will be Lou Gehrig to Bay’s Wally Pipp! Start printing those WS championship hats and shirts! The Mets haven’t been the same since they let the last Bubba leave (Trammell, that is!)

  Before I get prosecuted for this in the future, clearly I’m kidding

Not just the Mets are in a shambles. Buffalo is a train wreck too. So much for Jeffie Wilpon’s pledge to that city.

Anything helps. We seem to have a history of picking up guys with great names (Marvelous Marv & Ed Kranepool anyone?). Hope he does well.

By the way, I’m working on my own Mets blog this season. If you got some time, you should check it out @ midwesternmet.blogspot.com . We also just got a Twitter, just go twitter.com/midwesternmet
