Bobby Bell was promoted to AA to start the season and he has had a mix of starts, some good, some not so good.  Bell was drafted in the 18th round of the 2008 draft.  Initially Bell was used as a reliever, he had one of the best change-ups in the system and his control was excellent, he didn't walk a batter in that first season.

Belll was converted to a starter mid-way through 2009.  He is working on a curveball which he needs as a third pitch to be effective as a starter.

Here is a shot of Bell pitching in Dunedin this spring.

 

And another one of Bell pitching.

 

Finally, here is a link to video of Bell warming up before an inning in Dunedin.  Note the slingshot action.

The Las Vegas 51's website currently has Marc Rzepcynski listed as their probable starter.  I'm not sure if this has been mentioned on another thread or not yet.
