I do agree there. But the problem is, their defense is just fine. Heck, stick Heisey in right, Stubbs in center, and Gomes in left. Heisey is batting .282 right now, which is better than Bruce. The Reds have lost 1-0 in 3 of their last 5 games. I realize Bruce didn't play yesterday, so he isn't the only culprit, but the Reds left 14 runners on base yesterday. How do you have that many base runners without scoring a single run? They're not getting productive at bats.

Which is key and I do agree. Though I love what Bruce does for this team defensively, when you are not producing as a team, time to start putting sticks in the line-up. Heisey is not an equal to Bruce with the glove and arm, but his bat more than makes up for it.
