Dunn will get his chance ... heard a D-Back beat writer who stated they will bat him 4th behind Conor Jackson.

As much as we might not want to like the picture he paints, we should still recognize that Daugherty has spent more time with Adam Dunn and in the Reds' clubhouse than any of us have.

There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
Paul Daugherty is a microcosm of both the sports media in that town and the overall sports culture. Being back home for a month earlier in the year was all I needed to realize the reasons I decided to leave that town.

Wow. Just wow. This is as bad as the dumb stuff WLW did when Jr. left. Oh, that's right. P-Doc works for WLW now.Originally Posted by P-Doc
The two most productive Reds of the last decade are now gone. It's not either's fault that the club didn't put other productive players around them in order to win. Like a pitching staff and major league hitters, but blame it all on Junior and Dunn. As they go out the door.
Classy.
Not.

I had an email exchange with my wife's cousin in Arizona. Their family business is a corporate sponsor of the Dbacks. They seem to think the Reds are getting three pitchers for Dunn. But even they don't know for sure.
They are psyched to get Dunn. They seem to think that is the missing piece.

Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.

I suggest they hire Stuart Smalley.Time now for the clubhouse culture to undergo a sea change. Who wants to win? Who wants to prepare to win? Anyone? Elvis and his sidekick have left the building. Who wants the footlights now?
With Dunn and Jr gone the Reds can chant
Were good enough, were smart enough, and, doggonit, people like us!
I kinda doubt that do you really believe that Dunn is going to get offered Abr. bye the D-Backs? And them take the chance that he would accept it when they have all that money wrapped up in Byrnes in LF whom they are stuck with for the foreseeable future. Maybe I suppose they will feel he wouldn't accept just a 1 yr deal but I don't know if they take that risk for sure.
