Marlins Sign Heath Bell to 3 year, $27 Million Deal

[Ramp]

Worrying about 2014 is stupid, but we know this.

[HUGG]

Former starter put up a 44 saves and a 2.76 era for the Braves at 37 and then pitched 5 more years as a starter.

[Metes]

A nice gentleman with a delightful mullet once won a Cy Young as a closer, and when he did it, he was 37 years of age. SHIT SANDWICH

Ok, I'm done

[Valid]

IT'S A RUSE!

Wait...

I think it's kind of silly to compare Bell to all those guys, but you guys know that.

[DropkickAlex]

To be fair the actual number of saves shouldn't be posted, it all depends on the number of chances. However, for a closer of that age to put up those high save numbers he has to be effective, which I don't think is any question that a closer in the upper 30's can be effective.

[Metes]

Nope nope nope once you're on the backend of 35, your insides turn to snakes and cockroaches

[HUGG]

I think it's kind of silly to compare Bell to all those guys, but you guys know that.

It's about as silly as:

-Worrying about him pitching in 1 park we play in a handful of times a year that he's done just fine in in his career.
-Complaining that we coulda just kept JC Oviedo at 6 mil.
-Being crushed that we're spending 9 million on a guy in 2014 when we have absolutely no idea what this franchise will look like in 2014.

[Ramp]

vesting option would be worth $9mil

so potentially a 4 year $36mil deal

THE HORROR.
--------------------
we can call this Miami Horror.

like the band.

Ramp...

Clearly 2014 doesn't matter:

[Metes]

Somebody forgot to turn off all of the lights

[HUGG]

It wasn't Heath Bell though.
