Can Jay Bruce hit more home runs in a season than Ken Griffey Jr. Ever did?

5teamparlay · May 30, 2011

Jay Bruce hit a drive to right-center in the second inning for the Reds’ only run. It was Bruce’s NL-best 15th HR.

Griff hit 56 in a season 2 times.

His current pace is for 45..

Poll could be for any year in the future...

He certainly can hit more homers then JR hit in any season that he played with the Reds.

Jay Bruce will certainly hit more career homers for the Reds then Jr hit for the Reds.

Injuries only thing that could prevent that.

watched him against Crew yest. Sweet, smooth swing and had double and jack in first 2 at bats. Barring injury this guys swing can accomplish big things.

Somebody on this forum about 5 years ago before Bruce hit his 1st homer that he might hit more career homers then Jr one day.

Cant remember who started that thread.
Some idiot im sure.

Bruce. -56

Bruce will get nowhere near 56 in any year unless the juice makes a comeback.

Wow! The kid is only 26. He has improved his HR and RBI total every year. How in the hell is that fading? He is one of the elite RF arms in the game. I will give you that he is off to a slow start, but making the statement about turning his career around is ridiculous.

I know Murph...As a lifelong Reds fan, I just get sick of the Reds fans that fall in love with marginal players like Heisey and Freel, but can't stand the talented players. I guess you have to watch as much of my team as I do, but Jay is a very good player. So many people think that he should be doing what Joey does, but he just isn't there yet.
