Bell: Gonzalez Would Be Perfect For Red Sox
3rd November, 2009 - 4:28 pm
Boston Herald - Padres closer Heath Bell says that first baseman Adrian Gonzalez would be perfect for the Red Sox.

"I think if he didn't have to be the main guy on one team, he'd be so much better than he is," Bell told the Boston Herald.

"He'd hit over .300, and he'd definitely hit 35 or 40 home runs because he'd have protection. It's amazing the things he's done with nobody hitting around him in San Diego. He broke the (team) record for walks in one month (32 in June), and then came back and still hit. He's never had any protection. So I think he'd be amazing for anywhere that has protection for him."

Gonzalez has hit for power despite playing in the cavernous Petco Park.

"I don't think the park's all that bad for him, because all of his power's (opposite field)," Bell said. "In Fenway, he'd pepper that Wall." [READ]
