Dunn Part 287

[TubbyCAT]

Not a huge of Dunn at all! However, I will tip my hat to the guy for cutting down on his K's this season! Usually in the top 3 every season, this year he isn't even in the top-10!

 

Plus, he always has a great on base%, draws a lot of walks, and his defense has improved!

 

He isn't nearly as bad as some want to believe!

Votto is a terrible outfielder ... he's a first baseman, period.

 

That can't be good for Yonder Alonso the guy we drafted 7th overall this year who can only play 1B.

[John Anthony]

Anyone that mentions Dunn and Wily Mo in the same sentence should be banned from discussing baseball - EVER.

 

Yeah two guys who swing for the fences and one was tried out by Boston and sent packing, then Dunn was mentioned being traded there by this thread. Boston is smart, they have power hitters who hit for average, thanks anyway.

I assume the Reds took Alonso with that pick because they thought he was the best available prospect. At that point, you don't make draft decisions based on potential position controversies down the road ... you take the best available player.

 

If/when Alonso is ready for the majors, he'll play ... for the Reds or someone else.

I am not a Dunn guy, we all know that. I can't justify 13 mill on a one tool player. .

 

What is his one "tool?"

[Jim Schue]

Why can Alonso "only play first base?"

[HammerTime]

He played 3rd and some catcher Jim. I was just thinking the same thing.

[John Anthony]

Why can Alonso "only play first base?"

 

Not very fast and has an "adequate" arm. They have said all throughout college he focused on his O not his D. There hoping he turns into a Conor Jackson.
