Over the years theories have been offered that participation in the All Star game Home Run Derby can negatively impact a player's swing and production in the second half of the season.  Josh Bell maybe the perfect example.     



Prior to the HR contest, Bell hit 27 homers, and hit .302 with a 1.024 OPS.  Since the break, he has hit 0 HR, is batting .188 with a .578 OPS.   Bell might benefit from a few days off and some hard work in the film room and batting cage.

There. All we had to do to break the jinx was acknowledge it.

Nice to have him back.



Now have to hope Clint doesn't keep Brault in too long.
