I can see Bruce being on the opening day roster, dont know about starting on opening day though. I dont think the Reds will pay Dunn what it takes to keep him, so next year's outfield will look much different.

Well, I can't say I agree with that, either. I think if Bruce is on the Opening day roster it will be to start full-time. I can't see them letting him languish on the bench on the major-league roster, which would stunt his growth as a player all while accumulating service time toward free agency. If the team doesn't project him as a starter, I think they will leave him in Louisville so he can play every day.

Which brings me to this. If the Reds keep both Dunn and Griffey for next year, I think Bruce will be in the minors, because with the two of them and Hamilton there will be no place to start. If Dunn or Griffey is gone, maybe the Bruce era starts a little sooner...
