Wait, he can hit lefties?

That's unpossible.

That's unpossible.

.............dog gone shame......

Not to mention that he can only play right field, even though he plays center field frequently and plays it well along with an occasional start in left.

[membengal]

So, he's good again?

More unpossibleness

[TheBigLebowski]

I'm of the opinion that he needs to be in Cincy. He really has nothing left to prove on the minor league level.

Matt you're slipping, a couple other glowing problems with Bruce:

Don't forget the history of leg problems that we heard out of spring training, and this one, his plate control and discipline is so terrible that he is only able to manage these paltry numbers below.

vs Left-- .333 .317 .513 .830
vs Right .322 .367 .563 .931

.322 - .333 batting average range,
.513 - .563 slugging percentage range,

.830 - .931 OPS, range better hold him back until it reaches .1300

Overall I agree.
I wish they would put him in CF and let him roam the rest of the season as we all know he is the heir apparent to RF.
I am sure he will be at some point this season but being a little anxious, I wish he would be in there tomorrow night in Big Apple.

Homer made his big league debut last year against Cleveland....any chance Jay stars in the sequel?

[Blue]

He has decent walk numbers against RHP, but is yet to take a walk against a LHP this season in 39 ABs. That's the next step for him, but overall I'm pretty sure he could make it in the majors right now. Can't wait to see him.

Ridiculous he's not in the majors. I think it's all about the arb clock. The Reds are afraid to begin that clock ticking.

[AmarilloRed]

I like the fact that he hits well with runners in scoring position-.313, .357, .563 sound good to me.

[CrackerJack]

Dusty likes Corey, he's a veteran. That trumps a better player, cmon, this is Cincinnati folks, get with the program.

[Redman15]

So, he's good again?

According to BA's who's hot he is:

No. 8 JAY BRUCE, CF
REDS
Team: Triple-A Louisville (International)
Age: 21
Why he's here: .400/.464/.560 (10-for-25), 2 2B, 1 3B, 3 RBIs, 4 R, 1-for-1 SB, 3 BB, 7 SO
The Scoop: One could be forgiven for wondering how it is that the best prospect in the land could hit .325 with power in Triple-A at age 21 and not sniff the Hot Sheet. Well, wonder no more. Bruce has produced steadily all season—without having that one knockout week—but the sum of his accomplishments can no longer be ignored. You see the numbers above, but what you don't see is that Bruce may just be getting started. After beginning the week 0-for-8, Bruce collected 10 hits in his next 17 at-bats, which when coupled with two walks, meant that he reached base in 12 of 19 plate appearances—or three times per game.

[Kingspoint]

I don't know what he's supposed to be proving to anybody at this point. Dunn can't play left, Junior can't play right, so why worry about how well Bruce plays Center...certainly he's going to do a better job of it than those two do in their positions.
