Bruce Delievers

The much anticipated MLB debut of Jay Bruce lived up to the hype last night. Bruce went 3-3 with 2 singles and double with 2 BBs 2 RBIs, 2 Runs and a SB (12 Roto points). More importantly, he didn't have a K because his patience at the plate is his only negative to date. If you guys play in any other leagues and he is available, #1) that league is terrible and #2) pick him up ASAP. With Bruce making his debut and Cueto on the mound, the Reds only pulled 18,000 fans. Cueto got a cheap win and he didn't look as good as his line would indicate. He let up a bunch of hard hit FB and was on the right side of some great defense when Griffey threw out a runner trying to stretch out a double. The pitcher was up next and would have bunted to move the runner to third but with nobody on he struck out to end the inning. The following inning they hit for Cueto and then Dunn hits a ball that landed in Pittsburgh to give the Reds the lead. If you have any interest in MLB prospects the Reds are a great team to follow. I have attached a link to the 2 major newspaper in Cincy so you can get a feel for the hype that surrounds Bruce.
