Bruce lauds Larkin's BP advice, drills

GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Right fielder Jay Bruce may not know how much time he has left with the Reds, but he's not wasting it. Despite a near trade last week to the Blue Jays, and living with an uncertain future, Bruce has continued to go about his business in camp -- which includes working on his hitting.

To go about that, Bruce participated in some sessions with Hall of Famer Barry Larkin, who is at Spring Training as an instructor. Larkin has been helping Bruce with a drill that could help him do a better job of hitting pitches on the outside part of the plate.
