Bruce Update

Posted 5/20/2008 on Fantasy Baseball Through The Eyes of a Gaijin

Expect Jay Bruce to be called up around June 12. This is the time where the Reds add another year to his free agency and all the rest of the contractual and business stuff. If Bruce is there on the wire as a FA go and stash him on your bench.

Last night I called in and talked to Paul Daugherty on 700 WLW before the game. My topic? You know. Jay Bruce. I created quite an uprise after John Fay's prediction that 'The Deal' (more on that in a second) would be headed to Cincinnati after Memorial Day weekend. Basically Doc refocused his entire show after I tipped him off that Bruce's time may have come. And we're very excited ...
