he is the next big thing. don;t worry about his ego, i mean, look at the manager, dusty baker. he will definitley keep him in line. i can see him being like ken Griffey minus the injuries.
and about Jay's ego...just meet him. I used to play ball with him in high school. He was leagues ahead of all of us then and he never showed it. His parents wouldn't allow it !
Jay Bruce may never be a superstar but he will be up there. I just hope that going 3-3 won't hurt him ego wise. He'll have his struggles at the plate but he'll be just fine. Look out National league when they start gelling. I also like how the young players are stepping up. Give Cueto time, he'll be the next stud !!!
Homer Bailey is a punk that won't listen to his coaches. Bruce on the other hand, will be a bad ass. There are plenty of Major Leaguers who move a lot at the plate and are/were awsome. Hell, Griffey Jr. moves around a lot when he's at bat. I'd say it hasn't hurt him at all.
Alot of movement at the plate alot of shaking around and twitches. I think Major league pitching will trim him down. There's a huge difference from triple A pitching. He still can turn out to be a nice player, but no superstar.
you are out of your mind Bruce is going to be a superstar. There are several guys that have a lot of movement at the plate like Sheffield and look how great he has been.
Feeling like an idiot yet, kona? I think his first 25 ML at-bats speak much louder than any "shaking and twitching" he has at the plate. You ever heard of a guy by the name of Nomar Garciaparra? Had a few twitches himself, and Id say he turned out just fine.
I like where their going myself. I despise Patterson and i love Votto. I think Dusty knows what hes doing...Their lineup is young enough (Votto/Janish/Edwin). HE wants to make sure Bruce and Baily are ready. They re STARS and you cant hurt their confidence to soon.
From what I've seen of Bruce, hes a 5 cat guy. Hits for power and swipes a few bags while hes at it. Baker needs to call up Bruce soon, I have him in my fantasy league. Abreu, Ellsbury, Guerrero, and Bruce in UTIL..CHAMPIONSHIP!
Jay Bruce should play this year for one reason. In the background as he rounds second, you can see where the Nationals are beating the Reds 7-0 in the 3rd inning! Bruce gives you some immediate power, screw all the fading vets.
Jay Bruce will be the next "Big Thing" to hit Major League Baseball. It's a good thing he's in a baseball city like Cincinnati and not stuck in Tampa Bay or Florida where no one will appreciate him.
theyre really saying BRUUUUUUCE

And it's all good so long as he's on that back foot when the pitch comes in. He's got plenty of time to get ready during the pitchers wind up.

This kid is the next superstar. I like where the Reds are heading with Votto, Bruce, Volquez , Cueto & (hopefully) Homer Bailey.
Dear god, please get rid of Corey Patterson and bring JB up already

He's a pure hitter like Griffey used to be, and he hits for power like Griffey still does.
Ken Griffey Jr is a great comparison for Bruce, although I doubt he'll ever hit 600 homers.
