	After a red hot start Jay Bruce has come down to earth and maybe even a little below. With him stuggling like he has the last week and a half is there any chance he may get sent down any time soon if ever? Or do you think Dusty may sit him for a while or maybe against lefties?

	if Jay Bruce goes back down, Reds management is clueless. Corey Patterson has played worse than bruce for the past 8 years, and didn't get sent down. he won't be demoted, though he might sit on occasion against lefties. hopefully not even that

	Send Jay Bruce? Are you insane? He's a freaking 21 year old rookie!! He's going to have his struggles, but we all saw what he's capable of. He'll get back on track, as long as Busty doesn't hit him leadoff or 3rd. Let him bat down in the order where there isn't much pressure.

	There is no way on Earth you can send Bruce back down. You need to let the young guy work out his kinks and figure out the problems he has at the plate. He is capable of being great but obviously all the hype caught up with him. He is currently trying too hard... hence why he couldn't do squat with the bases loaded and two out. He psyched himself out hardcore and swung at a bad 3-2 pitch... That's a rookie mistake and you'll have that. He is a future all-star and we all know it. If they send him down instead of Patterson I will cry.

	They will give him until the Allstar break to do something. If he is still struggling then there isn't any reason why they shouldn't send him down.

	Bruce was tearing up AAA. There's no reason to send him back because everyone knows he can play at that level. Leave him up and let him learn. If this is how he slumps, I'll take it. He'll still getting a hit here and there. It's not like a Dunn slump where he goes a week straight without hitting a ball.
