I'm not sure, it may be better for the franchise in the long run if they play badly enough to force a change rather then skating along like they have been.
The good thing in this instance is that after that collapse last year even mediocrity will get the ball rolling
Pelfrey is a reliever and it is too early to comment on Bruce. Although our drafts have truly been dreadful
Pelfrey is an asshole with 1 pitch. Bruce has torn it up at every level he's played at. The only reason Bruce didn't get called up until yesterday is because the Reds are cheap pricks and wanted to avoid the Super Two clause.
While I agree that Bruce will probably be 100x better than Pelfrey, Bruce hasn't done anything in the majors yet.
Maybe I shouldn't have made a judgement on his personality. How about this, he's a terrible pitcher who's only on the roster because of where he was drafted.
