But 103 ABs isn't enough to justify cutting out an aspect of his game that he has been fairly successful at for his entire minor league career.

I get that

But the thing I can't help but question is? Wouldn't consistency - only batting LH, help him gain confidence and learn how to handle lefty pitchers better if he quit convoluting the picture? I feel one of his bigger issues at the plate is just simply trying too hard.

And here I go again. I also believe playing one position and batting in one spot would help. He's SS batting 7th today, 3B batting 4th tomorrow, DH batting 9th next day.

I can't and never will be onboard with Bell's musical lineup crud. Guys can't get comfortable.
