One simple question: What number of players can the Reds carry in September?
Gotta call up Bruce. Even if he doesn't play much, just getting acclimated to the major leagues, spending time with the major leaguers, etc........can be an education in itself, as opposed to be called up next year with no taste of the majors and having to produce and acclimate yourself to the lifestyle all at the same time.
I think it would be good for him. Plus, it whets their appetite.
I would imagine he would be used as a fourth outfielder. He would get starts to give regular players off, and be used as a pinch-hitter. Besides, you are assuming the Reds manager starts Hamilton instead of giving starts to Ellison and Hopper like he did the last game.
If you call up somebody in September you don't have to play them. Thats just extra time in the bigs. If Bruce would be up here, he wouldn't be at home practicing, and recuperating. I think its logical to call up everyone who is a prospect in September. I also want to know if anybody believes Miguel Perez will be up in September. This was my first post.
Methinks this team is primed for a whole bunch of late-game defensive replacements in September.
Except of course for #3 who will be gunning for #600.
I have a love-hate relationship with Albert Pujols. Mostly hate.
