Jay Bruce, the AA version

I mentioned a month ago that the Reds' Jay Bruce could be a candidate for a mid-season bump up to Double-A, and he ended up getting the call about a week ago. After hitting .325/.379/.586 in the high-A Florida State League, he has now slugged three homers in his first five games with Chattanooga of the Southern League.

This guy is literally going to be starting for the Reds out of Spring Training next year. Looks like Cam Maybin is the last of the 3 phenom outfielders from the 2005 draft to make it to AA, but that might not be long now either.
