There's still some hope for Bruce b/c he's younger, but Stubbs is what, 26yrs old? If he's not performing by the end of the year, then I say get him out.

First let's worry about getting rid of Gomes.
I'm not crying about it, but where is the foresight to see that Hamilton was and still is a great player? I would much rather watch two guys on the same team competing for the MVP each year than watching Stubbs strikeout 3 times in one game when I go to the ballpark. I guess, you win some, you lose some.

Bruce could be a good player, still not selective enough, he is an all or nothing player at the plate. Stubbs just loves watching 3rd strikes and looks foolish a lot. Gomes could definitely stand to get released and find a suitable replacement, he is even a liability in the field and makes easy catches look tough (see: Jeter).
