3. Jay Bruce, CIN: Performance-wise, Bruce, 19, has been one of the best high school hitters out of a 2005 draft that also included Cameron Maybin, Andrew McCutchen, and Justin Upton. The 6-foot-3, 195-pound lefty hit .291/.355/.516 with 42 doubles, 16 home runs, and 19 stolen bases in 28 attempts (67.86%) in 444 A-Dayton at-bats.
Bruce will likely start 2007 in High-A Sarasota. The Reds hope he can be Ken Griffey Jr.'s successor in center field. By the time he breaks into the majors, Bruce could be one of the top five prospects in the game.
