Thanks for the help BTW! I don't really expect him to produce in the same manner as Dunn. I don't expect that amount or even near the amount of homers but better "situational hitting" and defense. Man, it absolutely pains me to see Dunn in the outfield. It is not the MAIN reason but it contributes to reasons. He has LOST MULTIPLE games because of his slow, stupid defensive tatics. He does deserve the credit for the home runs and RBIs but the team needs to build for the future by bringing Bruce to that position and letting him start making those different contributions to the team that Dunn fails to do.

To wrap up. I say Dunn should leave in the offseason (money) and Bruce should begin his learning.

See, I'm still not convinced Bruce wouldn't be better off learning in Louisville next year. He has certainly torn up AAA pitching so far, but what happens if those pitchers figure him out? He will have to show that he can make adjustments as well.

Trust me, I'm as excited about Bruce as anyone, but I want him up when he will make the club better, and I'm not sure that'll be next year.
