Thank the baseball gods. 2010, put him at first and Votto in left with Bruce in right and leave them there for years.
Give me another team that would have three power left handed bats like that...and in a stadium that inflates lefty power. yikes.

I applaud the Reds here they have very good prospects in Votto and Bruce now they add on these guys? very promising players. And just to add the whip cream on top they receive the D'Backs Micah Owings who is already a very nice pitcher.

Ya don't forget about Yorman and Juan though. There 2012 opening day outfield will be:
LF - Juan Duran
CF - Yorman Rodriguez
RF - Jay Bruce
WOW, scary.

What about Drew Stubbs. I don't really like it, but he is being seasoned to be the starting CF on opening day next year. He has been pushed up through the system (somewhat without merit) and just got bumped to AAA last week after only 26 games at AA. They knew they were in trouble with OF so they obviously are expecting something out of Stubbs immediately...most likely a certain september callup
