A day after blowing his fourth save of the season, the Marlins have removed Heath Bell from his customary role as closer. Miami manager Ozzie Guillen, who hinted at the move in recent days, said Saturday he couldn't wait any longer. "Right now, we are going through a tough time," Guillen said. "It happens to the best of them. We are going to move him down for maybe a few days. It's not like we are removing him from the job. ... I made it very clear, it's not a punishment." Bell blew his fourth save in seven opportunities Friday night when he allowed the Padres to tie the score at 8 with a run in the ninth inning. Bell, who signed a $27 million, three-year contract with Miami in the offseason, was not surprised by the decision and said he understood it. "Bottom line, I am not doing the job," he said. "It's not like I am hurt or anything. But I have to figure this out and get better. I owe that to everyone in here."
