Heard from a source that jay Bruce may need surgery. #reds

 

Jay Bruce didn't start today due to a knee issue. This report by Fay does not sound good. He had no specifics, but if true, this is why you don't trade Heisey. Whether it is minor or major, if he has surgery, he will very likely be out a while.

Jay Bruce will have surgery this week to repair partially torn meniscus in left knee. Expected to miss 3-4 weeks. #reds

 

This was tweeted by Crasnick.

I doubt we see him before September.

I believe you may be correct. The Reds hardly ever reveal the true timeline.

[plantmanky]

We won't see Latos this year, his arm is toast.

It will be interesting to see if they go with Heisey or Schumaker

I'll believe 3-4 weeks when I see it. I know he wasn't exactly tearing the cover off the ball but this is a bad time for a major bat to go down. It's going to be a long summer.

Rotation of the 2 more than likely, Heisey doesn't do well as an every day guy for extended periods and Schumaker is just coming of the DL isn't he.

First, who said to trade Heisey? Second, who could possibly predict that Bruce would be out an extended period of time?

Correct on both. I think you have to have Schumaker in there every day. Heisey in the same role he's always been.

Don't forget Hamilton and Ludwig can not play every day either as it seems.

 

Outfield by committee, it will either work or epic fail.

Well, Hamilton may be an aberration, I hope.

So, who do they fill the roster spot with (not necessarily the starting spot? Do/can they bring back Bernadina? Or do they go to the minors (Lutz?)

[spindoc]

So much for me hoping Skip would be able to replace BP in the lineup soon and he be shipped out to parts unknown.

No one on here, but I have heard several on talk radio say to trade him while they could get value. I never said teh reds seriously thought that. Just an assumption on the length of time, we'll see.
