I never ***** about this team....I just think Ellison sucks and why not at least bring Bruce up to let him experience the major leagues..

The main reason they didn't bring Bruce up b/c he wasn't already on the 40 man and because once he is they'd have to pass him through waivers if they wanted to take him off.
This gives them the maximum roster flexibility in the off season. Bruce will only be added to the 40 man if he makes the team out of spring training.
Coats and Ellison were brought in BECAUSE they are expendable and because the Reds will have 2 extra slots on the 40 man roster when they are DFA'd after the season.
School's out. What did you expect?
I think a September call-up would have done Jay good....even if he never stepped on the field....that's all I'm saying Pedro

A breakout 2007 by Reds prospect Jay Bruce is not quite over.
The outfielder, who began the season at Single-A Sarasota and ended it with Triple-A Louisville, will participate in the upcoming International Baseball Federation World Cup in Taiwan as a member of Team USA. The event begins in early November.
"He's got a full plate this fall," Reds general manager Wayne Krivsky said. "He's going to instructional league for a week to get ready to go out to Arizona to be part of the USA team. So he's got a busy fall and early winter."

I wonder if any of those games are on TV? I'd like to watch him over the winter...
