Re: Dunn traded to DBacks

What is our starting OF now? Bruce-Patterson-Dickerson?

That'd be a shame too, I'd rather try again at that slot next year versus give into Alonso's demands (he is not worth what he is demanding.)

Also put me down on record, 3:13 PM EST on 8/11/2008.... a day the Reds are going to end up regretting unless we're getting a Parker or a Schezer or someone of that caliber back which is highly doubtful.

If the return is less than the two draft picks, I think Walt is only going to confirm that he is a dinosaur. Now if the plan is to resign Dunn and thus the two picks wouldn't have even been an option.... THAT could be a different story.

Probably. Doesn't Cabrera play some OF too?

I really hope Patterson plays every day. Because when I look back on the 2008 Reds, I want to tell people that I saw one of the worst players in baseball history get 400 plate appearances for a hapless franchise in the most hapless decade in that franchise's history.

Re: Dunn traded to DBacks

I guess you have to tear it down before you can build it up.

Jocketty will need to earn his keep in the off-season.

Reds have some serious holes. Hopefully, they have some cash to fill them.

Re: Dunn traded to DBacks

Jarrod Parker, the first round pick of DBacks last year signed on Aug. 15, 2007 so he can't be traded yet, can he?

Re: Dunn traded to DBacks

I think alot of this deal is predicated on the Dbacks intentions to extend Dunn. If they are looking to rent, the PTBNL will likely be named very soon. If it stays hanging, then it was contingent on the Dbacks extending Dunn.

Good point. He can't be traded until this Friday, August 15th.

Re: Dunn traded to DBacks

As noted in the Sun Deck, the D-Backs were rumored to have been offering Chad Tracy for Dunn before the deadline. Not that it really makes any sense whatsoever, but that could be someone coming back to us.

Re: Dunn traded to DBacks

I predict Votto gets some starts in LF.

Re: Dunn traded to DBacks

This is the worst case scenario in regards to the Dunn saga.

Let's face it. It's Buck and chaff. I have no hope whatsoever that the PTBNL are going to be anything but dreck.

What a monstrously horrific franchise.

Doesn't matter -- the odds of one or both of the PTBNL being better than the type of player available to the Reds as compensation draft picks is slim to none.
