Ah, finally one of the better players on the club.

I'll give him a:

150 games, 570 PA, 538 AB, .255 BA, .346 OBP, .523 slg., 88 K, 30 BB, 2 HBP, 30 HR, 72 RBI
Someone on tORG suggested a Gold Glove, and while not technically a stat, I certainly think he could get one next year.

I'm feeling good about him this year. I think his power and average will go up as he continues to develop.

I'm bullish on Jay as well:

600 PA, .273 BA, .340 OBP, .512 slg, 34 HR, 29 2b, 89 rbi

Hell yeah!

Wow, I thought I was going pretty high. It seems we all expect Bruuuuuucey to do great things this season.

Redsfan320 · 01-08-2010, 07:52 AM

Someone informed me that some of my stats were not mathematically doable, because I forgot about SH/SF. I also missed something with the BBs. So in light of that:

518 AB, 42 BB, 5 SF, 3 SH

Hope this isn't too much trouble nate, though I think you could just add some negative #s to your averages.

BLEEDS · 01-08-2010, 01:50 PM

.265/.330/.520 32 HR

I hope he can OPS .900+, but I think that's too much of a stretch. He definitely has the potential.
If he can OPS .850 next year, I'll be impressed.

Until he starts driving the ball (increasing his LD%) I don't think his BAPIP increases THAT much, and subsequently he won't get as many BB's either.

a .380 OBP is a pipedream. He simply K's too much and doesn't make enough solid contact to get on base/demand pitching around, yet.

PEACE

RedLakerFan24 · 01-08-2010, 02:04 PM

Avg 279 hr 41 rbi 105

Ghosts of 1990 · 01-08-2010, 02:13 PM

.260/.350/.530

30 hr, 90 rbi, 10 sb

Redsfan320 · 01-08-2010, 02:45 PM

I'll add in:

6 SB

I'll also say that I think Bruce is the least intelligent base runner ever. Generally, I think he's pretty smart about how he plays the game, but on the bases--

It seemed like he was always getting caught in a rundown, or trying to take one base too many.

BLEEDS · 01-08-2010, 02:56 PM

Also no way he gets 100 RBI's batting 6th on this roster. Unless someone gets a "headinbuttaddectomy" and puts SS batting 8th instead of 2nd, and moving Bruce to 5th or higher.

PEACE

Ghosts of 1990 · 01-09-2010, 12:16 AM

If anyone has any sense he won't hit 6th with Janish and hanigan protecting him. That just wasn't fair to begin with last ye

BigRed · 01-09-2010, 03:58 PM

260 35hr, 90rbi

gedred69 · 01-09-2010, 07:00 PM

I would rather see him hit .280-.300, with 25-30HRs, than hit 40 Hrs, and hit <.260. I hope he doesn't fall for the Dunn-esque approach and just try to hit Hrs.

Ohioballplayer · 01-10-2010, 01:33 AM

.270 40hr/90rbi

How about 10 outfield assists?

Ghosts of 1990 · 01-11-2010, 09:39 PM

I don't see him hitting 40 bombs fellas. Not yet. One major reason is he is still gonna be ugly against lefties
