They better not lose again, I read on this here board 5000 times that Dunn and JR were what was wrong with the team, undefeated from now on

RedLegSuperStar · 08-11-2008, 02:40 PM

question was it worth losing the draft picks?

Meh....not exactly exciting news.

His velocity is back. He throws a heavy sinking fb with extreme groundball tendencies. Some comps to Webb on the D'Backs forums in earlier threads there about their prospects. A ball is a long way from the majors and Webb though. It's like comparing Lotzkar to Rijo.

An edited note: He's had a tough year due to a TJ surgery last winter and probably isn't fully back but he's supposedly throwing very well despite being a bit under strength.

So that means Dunn made it through waivers?

Wow.

I don't think Dunn's value around the league is what many on this board think it is.

OnBaseMachine · 08-11-2008, 02:42 PM

This is a sad, sad day for me. I'll miss Dunner.

RedLegSuperStar · 08-11-2008, 02:43 PM

Deal Not Dunn!!

1:41pm: Ken Rosenthal does not agree with Gambadoro's report. Rosenthal says the D'Backs won a waiver claim on Dunn but could not complete a deal before the window expired today.

Just coming over here to see if anything exciting was going on. I guess not. Another ho hum off day

Interested to see the deal in its entirety.

It means he at least made it to the D-Backs. I don't think he even sniffed the AL teams. It's fairly common for non-contending teams to pass on free agents to be like this because they would have no use for him/no chance to work out a sensible trade.

rotnoid · 08-11-2008, 02:44 PM

incredible. best of luck Dunner. We'll miss you more than some realize.

Man, I hope. The return really was underwhelming.

NDRed · 08-11-2008, 02:44 PM

This stinks!

The Reds are going to really struggle to score runs in the future. The youngsters better develop power and fast.

OnBaseMachine · 08-11-2008, 02:45 PM

Jarrod Parker better be one of the prospects.

RedlegJake · 08-11-2008, 02:45 PM

Sounds like the radio station guy tried to get a jump on the competition. Now I'll just have to wait for a confirmation one way or the other.
