July 7, 200818 yr FWIW, Hal McCoy says the Reds shoudl keep Dunn. Kent Mercker echoed the same sentiments during the tv broadcast the other night. He said fans are crazy if they think the Reds can replace his offensive numbers, and what he means to the team.
July 7, 200818 yr Maybe the Reds can find someone to take Homer Bailey off their hands....That would be a nice trade deadline present. No point in moving him now. Might as well let him work things out if he can.

He is not leading any offensive category. Maybe close in walks.
July 7, 200818 yr Well, I digress. If Hal says so then it must be. Journalist without an agenda? Wow. I would challenge you to show where Hal has an agenda. Your generalization might have legs but not in this case.
July 7, 200818 yr I just puked. I am so sick of the replacing his number thing. He is not leading any offensive category. Maybe close in walks. I didn't realize that HR's and slugging % were no longer offensive categories. he's top 3 in RBI, 4 behind Phillips's 56, 2nd behind Hairston in OBP. He is definitely their top offensive player.

He is definitely their top offensive player. BP is their best offensive and defensive player, IMO. I am indifferent on Dunn anymore. I like his production, but hate spending that kind of money on a "streaky" guy batting in the .220's. Griffey or Dunn one has to go, you can't have 30 million dollars hitting and average of .230. Not to mention the fact that neither one of them having blazing speed or decent range.

July 7, 200818 yr Actually after doing some research on Dunn's contract the list of 10 teams are teams that he CAN'T be traded to without his permission. This is supposed to include the big-market teams.
July 7, 200818 yr I didn't realize that HR's and slugging % were no longer offensive categories. he's top 3 in RBI, 4 behind Phillips's 56, 2nd behind Hairston in OBP. He is definitely their top offensive player. I've posted these before, but here are the updated categories Here we go: Walks #1 great HRs tied for 4th great OBP 24th OK Slugging % 32nd OK RBI 35th OK Runs 82nd ouch SOs 5th ouch You tell me. Irreplaceable??
July 7, 200818 yr I think Dunn would love to be a Ranger or Astro. It would've been nice to of unloaded Dunn instead of Hamilton, for Volquez. I can see Boston or NYY making a big push for Dunn, to make a big splash and run at the Rays. To me, it is not a matter of Dunn and production. It is a matter of $$$ and what is best for the Reds.

Bottom line is key for the Reds. :thumb:
