As a Reds fan, I would be happy to trade him to any of your teams. He makes me ill.

I watch them every day. It is quite simple....get ahead and hit him with breaking ball and watch him fan at balls in the dirt. It's damn near dreadful to watch. He has his moments, but I shudder when it's a clutch situation.

How much of Soriano's salary are you eating?

He's got 3 years, 18 mil per year left. I'll eat half of it ($27 mil).

It's tempting....I know he sucks in LF but LF is shallow in GABP. That's a lot of dough for him. Nah.

Well here we go again....Bruce up down 2 with 2 on and 2 out in bottom 9.

He walked. Izzy wanted no part of him.

Lulz. Giving up on 24-year-olds is always a good idea.

Bruce has nearly identical numbers to Pete Incaviglia at the same age. I'm not saying he won't be getting any better but he's not good enough to be labeled an untouchable. If the Reds can get a good young starting pitcher like Ubaldo Jiminez for him, they should do it in a heartbeat.

I know you did not just drop Brandon Larson on Jay Bruce? Dude he's 24 and on pace for 30 HR and almost 100 RBI's.

He's got a .933 OPS with RISP and a .893 OPS in late and close games(7th inning or later and game within one run either way or tied)

Plays Gold Glove RF defense and has one of, if not the best arm in MLB.

NO THANKS. I'll keep him.

The frick?

He's 24. If you wanna get ill over someone, get ill at Drew Stubbs.

Srsly, Stubbs only plus over Bruce is speed.

Bruce will be a middle of the order masher for the next decade.

And he just got traded for Alfonso Soriano and Fukudome.

maybe, but he has gotten markedly better over the last 2 years.


the Rangers actually released Incavigila in his prime when he was like 26 or 27.
