ESPN’s Steve Phillips on Jay Bruce: “When [Bruce] first came up, I thought, ‘Man, this is Larry Walker. He’s gonna hit for average, hit for power, run a little bit, he can throw …’ He still can, but I think he hit a few homers early when he came up and fell in love with the long ball. He’s gonna have to change his approach, shorten things up a bit. He’s better than what he has shown.”
