Well, if the "insider" media knows about it, that would explain why Marty is already on the radio spouting off about how it is such a good move. If he knows the other two names, it makes a lot more sense to speak than if all he knows about is Dallas Buck and two PTBNL.
Then again, that might just be Marty.

So, who's the next to go?
Witty signature.

When judging the Adam Dunn trade, don't forget the two players to be named.
The one player announced was Dallas Buck and the other two players have to be minor leaguers. However, those two players to be named are on the Diamondbacks' 40-man roster, a source tells The Lot D.
The Reds wouldn't have done the deal without getting a Major League-ready pitcher. That means it's either Micah Owings, Max Scherzer or Jailen Peguero. If it's Owings or Scherzer, does that change your opinion of the deal?
Expect the other to be a position player, which would be catcher Wilkin Castillo or one of two first basemen, Javier Brito or Josh Whitesell.
Hmmm...
I think, now that Dunn is gone, this opens up 1B for Votto and 3B for EE.
Expect to see them manning those positions for the rest of the year and probably next year as well.
Hopefully Weathers. Arroyo could be dealt but I'd want a good return before I'd deal him.
Since when was EdE blocked out of 3B?

Hopefully Phillips, gonna blow it up to the bottom then do it right.
Go Gators!
It won't be Scherzer, and a big no thanks to Peguero, so that leaves us with Micah Owings. As for the position player, I like Whitesell the most out of that group.
Micah Owings/Josh Whitesell/Dallas Buck wouldn't be a bad return.
Assuming no injury, there really isn't a compelling reason to believe Arroyo, Harang, and Cueto will continue allowing homers at a 14-15% HR/FB rate.
Cueto will give up a lot of homers in the majors IMHO because he pitches up in the zone with his fastball. So he'll give up a lot of homers because he'll tend to give up a lot of fly balls. But even then his HR/FB rate would be expected to be around 10% over a long period.

I think father forgot the blue font.
Oh... I see... you think the Reds are going to re-sign Dunn, do you?

PD said that at least one of the players would be a name that would be recognized. He also said he knows but had beeen sworn to secrecy. C. Trent said almost the same thing. I think it's out there. Now all we need is a chair, a light, and water torture and we'll know.

I was at my first day on a new job when I heard this news so this is the first time I have got to comment on it. Without knowing who the Reds are going to get my gut tells me this will be a move the Reds will regret for years to come. The Junior trade I agreed with it was time to move on but this trade makes zero sense. Where this team thinks they are going to replace the power numbers Dunn put up I don't get. The fact that ownership still plans on winning next year I just don't see how.
Eric Byrnes?
