July 26, 200719 yr My question with Dunn is, do you really think he's around after next year? I have no confidence that this management group is going to spend the necessary money to bring him back. So is it better to get rid of him while you can get something for him, or to not get anything at all? What exactly are we going to be able to get now? Not a lot in return IMO.
July 26, 200719 yr Yes, I (still) believe he is starting in LF on Opening Day 2009 with Josh and Jay. IMHO, I think there is a better chance he signs a long-term deal by September 1st than the odds of him getting dealt.
July 26, 200719 yr What exactly are we going to be able to get now? Not a lot in return IMO. If they can resign him long term, there's no need to move him, but if not, isn't anything better than nothing?

July 26, 200719 yr If they can resign him long term, there's no need to move him, but if not, isn't anything better than nothing? Not really. Won't they receive some compensatory picks should he sign as a UFA?

July 26, 200719 yr Where is Griffey? Not sure, but I do know he won't be making $16.5 million dollars a year, at age 39, playing outfield for the Cincinnati Redlegs.
July 26, 200719 yr Junior hits #588. Hope it gets him back and going. Petey Mack makes the right call in letting him play day game after a night game.
July 26, 200719 yr If they can resign him long term, there's no need to move him, but if not, isn't anything better than nothing? I like what Marty just said about this, do you think the Reds will take a chance on picking up Dunn's option in the offseason and hope to trade him then, maybe pay a chunk of his salary in return for a prospect? Marty made it clear that Dunn will not be in Cincinnati next year.
July 26, 200719 yr Author Dunn is the type of leader this team needs. They are not that bad, with some decent pitching they can contend next year. I don't think I have ever seen Dunn and leader in the same sentence:creepy:
July 26, 200719 yr Marty made it clear that Dunn will not be in Cincinnati next year. Then I guess that it settles it.

July 26, 200719 yr I don't think I have ever seen Dunn and leader in the same sentence:creepy: Better listen to the Cowboy talk about him then. He says he's THE leader.
July 26, 200719 yr Griffey drives in another run -- good to see #3 coming out of his brief tail-spin. The Reds could use his bat heated back up.
July 26, 200719 yr Author Better listen to the Cowboy talk about him then. He says he's THE leader. That explains a lot then:D
