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...Originally Posted by RedEye

Was comparing the 2. Sorry..wasn't clear.
Jay Bruce....WOW!!!
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.
so you are at least acknowledging that Bruce may in fact be the #2 prospect in all of baseball?
Go BLUE!!!
Anything can happen but I think it is safe to say Bruce was a good pick. A GM can't be expected to forecast disasters
