Definitely the real deal, and wait until Cincy gets a couple of decent table setters in there day in and day out. If everyone stays healthy there will be a few 20-run games in Cincy this summer.
When a Sidney Ponson-type comes to town, all I have to say is "team total over".
Bruce drove in both Reds runs. He doubled with two outs in the fourth to drive in Chris Heisey, and led off the ninth against Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon with an opposite-field shot for his 32nd homer of the season.
131 bombs in five years, is only 25, if healthy, at age 37 or age 38 will hit his 500th homer.
He's legit, no doubt about it, he is what he is, a legit power hitter that bats .260, but who cares if he hits .260 which really isn't embarrassing as long as you are hitting 25+ bombs a year.
