Jay Bruce Mashing In Preseason Play
6 years agoSeattle Mariners first baseman/outfielder Jay Bruce launched a three-run homer in Sunday's exhibition contest versus the Yomiuri Giants. This shot put an exclamation point on a strong spring training in which he hit .433 with two more bombs and four doubles. Bruce batted fifth in this tune-up and figures to remain in this spot routinely as the M's used their probable Opening Day lineup in this game. The soon-to-be 32-year-old is looking to bounce back after an injury-plagued 2018 in which he only batted .233 with nine HR in 94 games. Bruce could see some time in the outfield as well as the DH, so his bat will stay in the lineup every day as long as his health cooperates. He's a sneaky option for power numbers in the late rounds of your draft.
