Go Gators!
I'd hope something happens by Monday. I'd dangle Valentin/Aurilia/Hatteberg for a starter. Then move Williams to the bullpen. Like said before ChiSox are dangling a starter.. but being 1-4 I don't see them coming cheap. I'd look to D-Rays maybe for Gathright. If the Rays throw in Edwin Jackson maybe the Reds can offer Belisle and Mercker.. Just hope we can bolster our staff then by doing that move starters down to relief to bolster our pen. Also if we can get a Gathright then we have a speedy lead off man who would be our LF and move Dunn back to 1st (Saw his defensive bunders on Baseball Tonight). Imagine a line up like this:
Gathright - LF
Lopez - SS
Griffey - CF
Dunn - 1ST
Encarnacion - 3RD
Kearns - RF
LaRue - C
Womack - 2ND
(Pitcher)
You have speed all troughout the line-up and the power will always be there. Dare I say it could be a line-up like the playoff Colorado Rockies teams in the past whos offense carried the team to contention while you know you pitching is average.
I recall Pic or Lance said that last year that he would consider it. Basically and decision he'd make would involve his family.Originally Posted by reds44

Two things.Originally Posted by Krusty
1.Liriano isnt going anywhere. You would be lucky to get Boof Bonser alone out of Austin Kearns.
2.Austin Kearns has considerably less value than Willy Mo Pena. At least when Pena was healthy, he did produce.
I just read on Marc's page that LaRue wont be back Tuesday because he will be in Sarasota catching Paul Wilson. I wonder if he'll be even activated during the Cubs series. So that may put a damper on any deal involving a catcher just yet.
Jason LaRue will not be with the team Tuesday in Chicago. Instead, he'll head to Sarasota to catch Paul Wilson's start in extended spring training. The Reds want LaRue to get at least a little game action under his belt before he is activated from the DL.

I think it's gonna be Kearns.
This from the Newark Star Ledger today:
LINKWHAT WE'RE HEARING: Even with their outfield logjam apparently settled, the Reds are still shopping Austin Kearns to see if he can bring back a decent starting pitcher in a trade.
For every action there is an equal and opposite criticism.
i totally disagree. dunn isnt that good. you must think he plays great def, runs well, runs the bases right, hits for avg, drives in a ton of runs. man, id take a number 1 or 2 GREAT prospects for dunn. hes reaching legendary overrated status by reds fans. id rather have freel, lopez, kearns, etc than dunn. maybe im too down on him, but some are way to high on him. hes one dimensional. ill take a guy who can hit, run and play def over a guy who hits the ball 500 feetOriginally Posted by OnBaseMachine
that'd be dumb imo. id trade dunn before kearns even with what dunn has done and with what kearns hasntOriginally Posted by max venable
Homeruns are not the only thing Dunn is good at. He DOES knock in a good amount of runs, scores a lot of them, always has a very high OBP, and he does have pretty solid speed for a guy his size. So are you saying you'd take a guy like let say, Carl Crawford, over a guy who can consistantly put up 40 HRs 100 RBIs 100 Runs and also put up a .900+ OPS?Originally Posted by NewEraReds

The Reds know it......everybody else in baseball knows it.....only those few on Redszone that cannot see this do not know it.
Yeah, Dunn isn't that good. He's only the first Reds player to ever have two seasons of 100+ runs, 100+ RBI, and 100+ walks. Two straight 40 homerun seasons. 160 career homeruns at age 26. Yeah, he sucks.Originally Posted by NewEraReds
