On a sports note, Bruce and Stubbs have both moved into the top 10 in strikeouts :-)
[Reply]

Oh sure :-)

It is early in the season :-)
[Reply]

Yeah, by the end of the season they could end up one-two in the standings. They finished in the top 25 last season and wanted to start where they left off. :-)

I'm still offering the bet about Stubbs not batting over .330 if you think he is going to turn it around. Heck, I'll even lower it to .320 just for you. :-)
[Reply]

Nah. I like Stubbs though for his speed.
[Reply]

Always nice to have a leadoff hitter with speed that can't get on base. He can't steal bases from the dugout. :-)
[Reply]

He is 65th in the NL in OBP% It will improve throughout the year.

Hell of a game last night.
[Reply]

Yep. I read an article somewhere saying that Bruce could be the very next Adam Dunn (but can play defense). Power hitter that isn't selective and strikes out WAY too often.
[Reply]

Are you high? His on base percentage lands him at 140th in the NL, 224th in all of MLB. Excellent for a lead off hitter. :-)

Or did you mean On base plus slugging? Where he is still not in the top 100. :-)
[Reply]

That is my thought, although the Reds announcers would lead you to believe that he will be challenging for the HR crown and Joey Votto's MVP award. They had a poll question the other night on who would be the best hitter on the Reds the other night and both announcers said that Jay Bruce would be a better hitter than Joy Votto this year. Luckily most fans were smarter than the announcers as they picked Joey Votto by about a 50% margin. :-)
