There is no future for Dickerson here. He's not getting on base enough to be
a speed guy and he has no power.

Same boat as Dickerson.

I didn't know either of those. It was a shock to see Bruce in the lineup.

Yeah. I was there for the game. Just in case anybody hasn't heard me rant
about Jay Bruce. His swing is something special. He wasn't overmatched
against Chase Wright even though most of the evening didn't go his way. The
homer was a no doubter and the throw was a shock. I knew Bruce could handle
center, but I had never seen him throw a laser like that. He's a comparable
to what Kearns was in the minors.
> Homer got roughed up pretty good, BTW.
Yeah...Every time I see him pitch he has stretches where he just can't find
home plate with a cluebook and a flashlight. Last night was like that. He
sailed through the lineup...till he couldn't find home plate.

....As much as I like Bruce's future. They shouldn't have him in cincy this
year. Since Dickerson is on the 40 man roster, he would be the likely
culprit and I don't think he would add a whole lot more value to that roster
than Chad Moeller does.
other comments...
Livingston in a big boy. He's gotta be bigger than 6' 3. Santos and
Shackleford looked like midgets next to Livingston.
I don't know why tbe organization is high on Paul Janish, but they are. I
know he's a college boy who gives good quotes, but I don't see how they can
project a major league future for him. It's not like he's hitting and his
glove can't project to a major league infielder. No range at all. If you
like Aurilia or Clayton at SS, you're gonna love Janish at SS.
Oh, and while the field is nice, the folks in Louisville would do well to
come up to Dayton and take some lessons in customer satisfaction. The PA guy
was terrible and the "entertainment team" was flat and dull the entire
evening. If you're going to do that kind of stuff badly, just don't do it at
all.
