I know the offensive difference is strong, but at least Juan can field the ball... but yeah, if I had to chose, I'm down with Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 This is an interesting deal. Bruce clearly hasn't hit the heights that he was supposed to just yet, but at age 23 rocked an .846 OPS. I think this is a really smart move for the Reds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's somewhat risky but the going price of a corner outfielder is highway robbery. Thanks a lot, Rizzo!

TomPickle Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 This is a great deal for the Reds, Bruce is most likely going to out produce both Werth and Crawford over the next 6 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that would have been dumb. But I think the Bruce signing makes a lot more sense since he's much younger than Q was when he broke out.

But I think the Bruce signing makes a lot more sense since he's much younger than Q was when he broke out. Bruce is a lot easier to sign because he doesn't suck on defense. Quentin bat's still alright, but he's nothing but a DH now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
