Not a fan of spending a 40-Man Roster spot on Bell. Situational lefty/LOOGY at best, and even if Gohara doesn't stay in the pen we've got Biddle/Fried/Allard/Brothers who can fill that role.

They had a bunch of open 40 slots. They don't have to keep him if it becomes an issue.

The addition of Bell puts the 40-Man Roster at 39.

Somehow don't get 1 as "a bunch".

Not a big deal by any stretch, just not real sure why you'd pay the waiver fee to claim him and have him take up a spot that may go to Allard or Riley in the not so distant future when he probably would have gone unclaimed and you could've offered him a minor league deal if you wanted a closer look.

Listened to some back mlb pipeline podcasts. They had riley on. I'm not saying these guys are the best prospect evaluators but they expressed concerns with his 3B defense of 4/25/18. One of the hosts in particular. Just reminded me of posters on here saying that nobody had defensive concerns anymore.

I'm still thinking 250/300-333/450-500 with avg to slightly below avg D.
