Adam Dunn On The Block?

 

Is it possible, in this day and age, for a player like Adam Dunn to be undervalued? I think so. He'll make $10.5MM in 2007 and has a $13MM club option for '08.

 

So what exactly isn't working with Dunn? He's hit 126 home runs over the past three seasons. Only David Ortiz and Albert Pujols have more. Dunn also has a .380 OBP over the last three seasons. Better than Carlos Delgado, David Wright, Mark Teixeira, Miguel Tejada, Carlos Beltran, Aramis Ramirez, or Andruw Jones.

 

The problems, of course, are the strikeouts and low batting averages. Sportswriters just can't take this. You just can't convince some people that a guy who hits .240 and whiffs 190 times is a premiere player.

Dunn slipped all the way to .229/.360/.416 after the All-Star break, and that certainly contributed to the Reds' demise. But I don't think 250 ABs should erase Dunn's previous body of work. He's pretty close to a lock for 40 HRs and a .370 OBP. You better believe that's worth $10 mil. Baseball Prospectus says Dunn is worth about $53MM for 2007-10.

I wouldn't be surprised to see some smart team fleece Wayne Krivsky for Dunn. You'll notice I said smart,which probably rules out the Cubs. One could envision the Blue Jays, Red Sox, White Sox, A's, Rangers, Brewers, or Diamondbacks acquiring Dunn this winter.

Just watched the replay of last nights game and Welsh said, 'Jubilicity, if there is such a thing'. It was one of those moments that we would've been happy with silence more than anything...

 

His walking papers should've been immediately printed up.

Welsh and Grande both give you reasons to fire them every night -- they are atrocious.

I listen to them every night now simply to make me laugh. lol

 

If you have had a bad day or just a bla day and things aren't going well. You just listen to them for an inning or two and you will SUDDENLY feel better about your life. :lol:

I just had a very scary thought, IF Narron is fired and Bucky Dent is named manager, will we have to listen to "and the manager of the Reds BUCKO Dent"!

They definitely make you feel like a baseball genius...

When George refers to Chris as the "Crafty Lefthander" I hear the "Crappy Lefthander". I must say it out loud because my 8y.o. asked me last night if I was listening to the "Crappy Lefthander?"

Trivia Question:

 

Besides Adam Dunn, 10 other players made their ML debut in 2001 with the Reds. Without using something e-related, how many can you name?
