    agreed. Lopez and Freel must play everyday. The Aurilia experiment is over, also Kearns better start hitting or I'm starting Cruz over him. When does Wily come back?

    Thank you Felipe and Adam for salvaging a small measure of respect from the debacle of the last three days.

    Maybe not Cruz but DEFINITELY Wily Mo Pena. Why this team has lost 7 in a row without one of its 3 best hitters in the lineup is amazing. And a sad commentary on the managing of one Dave Miley.

    Okay...I agree...with that mindset should we go ahead and trade Dunn to another team...maybe the Oakland trade that was mentioned here before? Or is there another team that would want him more and be willing to give us more?

    At this point I don't think the Reds have one single shot at signing Dunn to a LTC..JimmyB should have gotten that one done and it should have been priority one with DanO.

    Okay...lets talk...I am ready to blow this season up and focus on building depth.

    Of course, do you think that perhaps that has been the teams plan all along?

    Would you really be surprised to see Casey, Dlo, Wilson, Milton, Jr and Dunn traded this season?

    Hmmm...the plot...oh wait, there is no plot...sorry!

    I want Dunn to stay...he's a cornerstone (or should be)...but Mr. Efficient Dan O'Brien doesn't discuss LTC's during the season, and should have gotten it taken care of THIS offseason.

    If that's true, and you're Adam Dunn.....wouldn't you walk? I think Dan O has said Dunn is not tradable

    DanO is going to screw this up

    Matt:

    I am right there with you...I don't want to see him anywhere other than Cincy but IF I were Dunn, I would go somewhere where they have more pieces together to win some games and the ownership (although I like Mr. Lindner) has a more immediate plan.

    If things don't turn around quick I am pretty well convinced we are going to see Dunn, Casey, DLO, Jr., Wilson and Milton going elsewhere via trades...so that we can have something in the next couple of years.
