Jay Bell, First Baseman? Jay

Jay Bell, First Baseman?

Jay Bell, a lifetime shortstop who was converted to second base by the Diamondbacks (and a huge wad of cash), came off the disabled list two weeks ago and has played four of his six defensive games at first base (plus one at second and one at third). This is not an ideal situation for the D-Backs, who had missed injured righty Erubiel Durazo. Even though Bell has hit 38 home runs in a season, at 6' and 184 pounds and with a .764 OPS in his career he is not your typical first baseman. With Durazo back we may not get another chance to see Bell covering first.
