Ladies & Gentlemen… Jay Bruce
May 26, 2008
The future is here, Reds fans.
The Cincinnati Reds will call up outfielder Jay Bruce on Tuesday to (finally) join the big league club.
Here’s hoping he brings lots of this:

If I were a Reds fan, I would take a little less in the batting average department and more in the OBP department. It seems kind of concerning that such a large bulk of Bruce’s OBP comes from his BA… I mean don’t get me wrong, it look like this kid can really handle a stick… but it would probably be nice if he had an opportunity for more strike zone experience in the minor leagues.
Here’s hoping it works out for the Reds though, I can’t get enough of all the exciting talent coming into the majors as of later.
If you were a Reds fan, you wouldn’t care how Jay Bruce gets on base. Especially when you consider that the guy he replaced (Corey Patterson) couldn’t find his way on base with a detailed map and a fully-charged Rascal Scooter.
