PITTSBURGH - The Pirates have an interesting situation coming up with their schedule. They can send Chad Kuhl back down to Triple-A, and roll with a four-man rotation until July 5th, next Tuesday. In the mean time, they can call up an extra position player for their upcoming five games on the road in American League parks.
And I really hope that if they take this route, Josh Bell would be the one to get the call.
Bell is currently being held back by a few things. The primary thing is John Jaso. Expecting Bell to perform better than Jaso right now is expecting a lot from a rookie.
