He's a weird looking hitter, but everybody thinks he'll be at least average as a bat at third, so who am I to argue?

I checked out a couple of your YouTube videos. In particular I dug <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/dmhmt#p/u/5/MNRhX2r96QY" rel="nofollow">the one of Josh Bell</a>. He's got a really interesting batting stance. Compact, but with good rhythm. It reminds me of someone but I can't put my finger on it. My brain keeps saying Craig Biggio but that might be complete nonsense. @d. – Thanks so much for checking in – great stuff.

This isn't a "good riddance" scenario since I have nothing against the guy, but I can't say I'm bummed that he's no longer around. Let him be someone else's project.
