Can Anyone Share any Cool Papa Bell Fish Stories??

PostFri Jan 14, 2022 3:04 pm

Can anybody share a LINK of any team that has won 90+ games with the $6.24 Cool Papa Bell card?

I contend that it is overpriced by a good $1, but would like to see how he performs on a successful team and see if maybe he is worth anything close to his lofty salary in some type of stadium team construct.

Thanks in advance to those sharing.

LIterally never used him. Every time I do a search for "my type" of player he comes up and then I look at the card or Diamonddope him and there are ALWAYS better options.

I think his defensive rating at 3 positions just kills his price.

But, I too would love to seem some Cool Papa Bell success stories.

Yes, he's been awful. I've seen $3.18M Jelly Gardner outperform CP Bell multiple times.

All I know is Satchell Paige said he was so fast that he could turn out the light and race back into bed before it got dark.

I am well into a season with his 6.24m card. .294/.348/.468 with 12 steals.
