Scouting Report: Bell plays the game at full tilt, making him a perennial fan favorite. All five tools are above average but none spectacular. Above average power, 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 fairly strong arm. Good range. One of the most-liked teammates in the organization. Bell had a breakout season in 2007, and followed that up with nice success in AA before going down with a stress fracture in his leg. As a player that goes all out on every play, Bell has a tendency to be somewhat injury prone. The Sox see Bell as a future major league contributor.
