Brewers acquire another IF

[Witlon]

According to ESPN's bottom line, the Brewers have acquired 3B David Bell from the Phillies for a minor league pitcher, Wilfredo Lareano(sp?).

I'll post a link when I find one.

Brewers get Bell.... Phillies get minor league Pitcher....

Brewers acquired third baseman David Bell from the Phillies for RHP Wilfrido Laureano.
Bell is hardly a catastrophic loss for the Phillies, but the team wouldn't surrender him for a run-of-the-mill relief prospect like the 22-year-old Laureano unless it was giving up on the season. Abraham Nunez, back playing like the 25th man he's always been, isn't a quality alternative at third base, and it might be that Chris Coste will see considerable time at the position. Bell will share time with Jeff Cirillo in Milwaukee. Both are right-handed hitters, so it won't be a true platoon. Bell's fantasy value drops with the trade, as does Cirillo's. Jul. 28 - 10:37 pm et

Laureano isn't on BBA's top 30 spect list, so this deal probably isn't that bad for the Brewers, espeically if Koskie doesn't come back this year.

Cornering the market on mediocre, white infielders. Awesome. They should trade for Joe Randa next.

Crap, at first, I thought this was Liriano's brother or something.

Bell's a free agent too though, so theres no guarantee he'll come back.
