IIRC, they are 6-1 vs. the Braves.

I would agree with this assessment. It's that potential word, being touted as the #1 overall prospect in baseball and his magical entrance into the big leagues with a walk off homer.

The Reds LTC to Bruce is going to pay some nice dividends.

It's just frustration, VBR. Lots of folks were expecting .350/40 HR/130 RBI seasons out of Jay. Jay is Jay, nothing more.

Frandsen would be in the HOF if he could play against the Reds 40 times a year.
