Bruce has the potential to be Vottoesque, but he's too impatient. If he could learn to be more selective at the plate, he would be a consistent .300 hitter. It's up to him, but it doesn't look like it's gonna happen. By the time he learns that, he'll probably be in his 30s and on the downside of his career.
