In April this would have sounded nearly impossible, but Josh Bell is one of the Washington Nationals best hitters, and has been for a little while now. After a miserable start to the season, where most wanted the DH gone, Bell has turned his season around.
Since May 1st, Josh Bell has been everything he was supposed to be since he signed a 1-year $6 million contract to return to DC. Bell is hitting .268 with a .354 on base percentage and a .793 OPS since the start of May. That is 2.5 months of very good play and it could make him a viable trade chip.
