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

    Bruce in RF batting 3rd for the Lookouts.
    Dickerson walked his 1st AB. Votto with the night off.

    Drew Stubbs strikes out swinging.

    0-2 with 2 Ks. Not exactly doing well.

    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.

    They were kind of due for a bust. How many first rd picks make the majors? 50%? With Bailey and Bruce before him, that's 67% success. Much better than Bowden's years...

    Bruce hasn't made the big leagues yet. It seems inevitable but I just don't want anyone to jinx him and see him end up with a serious injury. Because he certainly looks like a future superstar.

    Every team in baseball would take our last three first round picks. Throw in Watson as the second round pick last year and we're doing really well.

    Dickerson is 1-2 with an RBI and BB.
    Bruce is 1-2 with a 3 run HR.

    Jay Bruce 3 run HR. Announcers said it was an absolute bomb.

    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?

    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 agree except that I don't think it would harm his development to get a September callup and get a feel for what major league baseball is like. Maybe let him pinch hit or be a late inning defensive replacement. Then he's not blown away when he gets called up for the first time.
