What are peoples' views on him for 2010?

Is he worth retaining as an 8th round pick in a 20 team 12x12 league?

Do you think his improvement at the end of 2009 will carry over?

Thanks, and WHIR as always.

I wouldn't do it myself, but I've seen him go 8th in a 12 team mock draft.

I personally love him; his bad luck on BABIP last year is well documented. He's RF in separated leagues, and his power is legit. He won't steal, but his BA won't be the sink most expect.

I would go higher if you expecto to get him in a 20.

This. In a 20 team league he is easily worth an 8th round pick. ;-D

I love him at this price.

Bruce should improve with a full bill of health. I don't believe .270, 30-35 HR is out of the question for him. Needless to say, keep him.
