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...

I would absolutely love to see LF-Bruce C-Hamilton RF-Griffey. That would be a great hitting lineup. Much different than Dunn which is hit a home run or sit on the bench.
