Cincinnati Reds: Is Jay Bruce's power for real?

David Schoenfield at ESPN says so:
Jay Bruce’s power: REAL. After his strong second half in 2010, many projected a breakout season for Cincinnati’s right fielder. He has 12 home runs in May, giving him 16 on the season. Most impressively, he’s split that total evenly between home and road, after always having a huge disparity in his career (19 of his 25 home runs last year came at home).

Maybe Dusty Baker will see this and move Bruce to 4th in the batting order to provide some protection for Joey Votto.

Cincinnati Reds: Will the Milwaukee Brewers win the National League Central?


David Schoenfield at ESPN.com says the Milwaukee Brewers will win the NL Central division. Here are his thoughts:

The Brewers will win the NL Central: REAL. If I had to make a call right now, I’d lean to the Brewers. Their rotation is the best in the division, and Gallardo (7-2, 3.89) and Zack Greinke (3-1, 5.79) are just starting to pitch well. Put it this way: I expect those two to drastically outperform Kyle McClellan (6-2, 3.86) and Kyle Lohse (7-2, 2.13) the rest of the season, and I also expect some of the Cardinals’ hitters to fall off their early pace.
