Jay Bruce come into tonight with a .879 OPS in three games with Louisville. I wish all of our prospects were overmatched like that.
Jay Bruce draws a walk in his second plate appearance.
Bruce walks on 4 pitches.
let Bruce play about 20 games...we can better assess then
For his level? Sure, he is overmatched. Jay could play in the MLB and hit 230 right now. That doesn't mean we want that.
He still has some adjustments to make before he can hit top level pitching at a 300 or better clip.
I doubt he is like Homer Bailey and stagnates in AA for a year.
Dayton is scoreless in the second inning. Drew Stubbs singled in his first atbat.
