Jay Bruce on a roll for Reds

In his first six games, Jay Bruce has been like a reincarnation of the Big Red Machine all by himself. All of the numbers are impressive, starting with 21 years old. He was batting .591 entering Monday night’s game. He’s hit two important home runs, driven in six and stolen two bases. He’s big and strong, he’s left-handed and maybe he’s the next big thing in baseball. He certainly has been the big thing this past week. — Jeff Gilbert

  2. Jay Bruce is the man! Too bad the Reds didn't keep Josh Hamilton last year or else they would be the team to watch right now.
