Do you think he'll pick up plate discipline? Seems like Sickles doesn’t think Bruce is going to walk a lot. Do you think he’ll pick up plate discipline?

Sure it's a risk, but think of the discount in 2027. The Reds should probably go ahead and lock him up for the next 19 years. Sure it’s a risk, but think of the discount in 2027.

Gotta love the longevity. I was almost expecting more homeruns, but 500 will probably be like 600 after the steroid era. Gotta love the longevity.

When we make prospect lists, or teams make up their draft board.... they are basing this on what they think the players will eventually do in the major leagues. As for the Astro's thing, I figure its just because Jay is from Texas and will head back home toward the back end of his career. People do it all the time.

What makes him think he will become an astro after so many seasons? I wonder if he will predict how much money he's going to make?
