December 10, 201015 yr QUOTE (Y2HH @ Dec 10, 2010 -> 09:26 AM) I actually had to look up who this was... You don't know who Jay Bruce is? Hint: He's better than Carlos Quentin.
December 10, 201015 yr QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 10, 2010 -> 09:29 AM) You don't know who Jay Bruce is? Hint: He's better than Carlos Quentin. I didn't pay attention to baseball much last year...was busy. And Juan Pierre is better than Carlos Quentin. So what.

December 10, 201015 yr QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 10, 2010 -> 09:42 AM) LOL. No he's not. I know the offensive difference is strong, but at least Juan can field the ball... but yeah, if I had to chose, I'm down with Q

December 10, 201015 yr QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Dec 10, 2010 -> 09:45 AM) you chose the wroooong person to say that to! I did it on purpose, a carryover from the Crawford thread.

December 10, 201015 yr This is an interesting deal. Bruce clearly hasn't hit the heights that he was supposed to just yet, but at age 23 rocked an .846 OPS. I think this is a really smart move for the Reds.

It's somewhat risky but the going price of a corner outfielder is highway robbery. Thanks a lot, Rizzo! Edited December 10, 201015 yr by ScottyDo

December 10, 201015 yr This is a great deal for the Reds, Bruce is most likely going to out produce both Werth and Crawford over the next 6 years.
December 10, 201015 yr Author I remember people talking about a deal like this should be done for Quentin.
December 10, 201015 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 10, 2010 -> 02:19 PM) I remember people talking about a deal like this should be done for Quentin. Yeah, that would have been dumb. But I think the Bruce signing makes a lot more sense since he's much younger than Q was when he broke out.
December 10, 201015 yr QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 10, 2010 -> 09:42 AM) LOL. No he's not. Oh by a mile he is. Plus he steals a lot of bases!

But I think the Bruce signing makes a lot more sense since he's much younger than Q was when he broke out. Bruce is a lot easier to sign because he doesn't suck on defense. Quentin bat's still alright, but he's nothing but a DH now.
