Arm strength has nothing to with who has the better arm. I dont care how hard he throws. I care how hard he throws combined with how accurate he is and how many people guys he can throw out trying to advance.

I believe the assists are down because runners know not to run on him, so they don't try and take that extra base. Whereas runners don't really know about choos arm and they pay. Well now that everyone knows about choos arm, you ll see his assists go down.

Watch a reds game, it really is hilarious to see runners just know not to run on Bruce...by the way, he is extremely accurate. Stats don't always tell the story laley.

Choo was 4th in the league in assists the year before last. People know about his arm, and they dont really run on him either.

Bruce is great, but Im not the only one who thinks Choo has a better arm. Peter Gammons had Choo second in the MLB behind Nick Markakis at some point during last year.

When you're down by a lot, you don't take base running risks, you just need base runners.
