Jay Bruce

I did not see this listed. Jay Bruce sounds like a Terminator when he got sent down to minors. I guess he is not ready to beat out Corey Patterson.

Sounds like Corey Patterson landed in the right spot. I'm happy to see him get another shot.

Me too. I loved watching Patterson while he was here. Definitely didn't live up to the hype that was projected on him while he was a youngster, but still does a lot of good things.

It's probably for the best for him. The guy's not even 21 yet. He needs time to develop in the minors. Feels so weird seeing guys like Bruce, Cameron Maybin, and Justin Upton competing for starting roles when they're all so close to being your age and in fact Upton is a month younger than I am. Nice to see Patterson though getting a job. He's a useful player and I wish him well in Cincy.

Quote to remember:

The Reds want to avoid sending Bruce back and forth between Triple-A and the big leagues.

"I know what it was like going back and forth," Baker said. "It's a tough thing. Look at the Braves. Most of the time when they get called up, they're up to stay.

Dusty's not wrong all the time. Let's hope it works that way with some of our young P's.

Best of luck to Cory... I'm not sorry that we don't have him, but he is exciting to watch and he seems like a good guy...
