Poor pitching performances lately in the Reds system. Pitching wide deadarm period or reversions?

Dickerson walked his 1st AB. Votto with the night off.

Looking like bust city for Stubbs right now. Anyone think he'll just suddenly "figure it out"? That seems to be his only shot of being an impact player at this point.
Re: 6/25 Minor League Updates
Dickerson is 1-2 with an RBI and BB.
Bruce is 1-2 with a 3 run HR.
Re: 6/25 Minor League Updates
Jay Bruce 3 run HR. Announcers said it was an absolute bomb.
Re: 6/25 Minor League Updates
Announcer just guessed that Jay Bruce's HR went about 440 feet.

How long are the Reds going to be able to keep this kid in the minors? Honestly, he just shows no signs of slowing down at all. Possible promotion to the majors in September?
Re: 6/25 Minor League Updates
Jay Bruce opposite field RBI double. Bruce is 2-3 with 4 RBI.
Re: 6/25 Minor League Updates
lol. It's almost unfair how good Jay Bruce is. Seriously.

I'd guess that the ABSOLUTE best case scenario has him on the Homer Bailey plan -- finish this year at AA, start next season at AAA and then onto the active roster with the major league team midway through the 2008 season.
However, I think that is being really generous.

I would bring him up by August 1. Give Bruce August and September to adjust to the big leagues. Another reason why a current outfielder should be moved at the deadline.
Two weeks at AA, three weeks at AAA, then up to the Reds. Next year, Bruce starts in the Reds outfield right out of spring training.
Polish him up at AA and AAA for a few more weeks.
And by the way, when he comes up, he hits third. Every day.
