    Re: Get rid of Adam Dunn while is value is high

    I can't say that I have, but then it's difficult for me to find time to read, what with running the meat packing plant and hording my millions.

    Does he have anything of interest to say?

    Not to take this thread off-topic or anything ( ) but Pujols has some crazy stats. I knew it before, but haven't looked at them in a while.

    28 HRs ... and 28 Ks.

    As much as i hate the Cards and Pujols..............Adam Dunn doesn't even compare to Pujols. Sure his HR and OBP is similiar, but thats about it. You people keep thinking he is going to turn into Albert Pujols or something spectacular...........my thinking is that he has had 4 years of live action to develop, and frankly i havn't seen much difference in him between his 1st year and his 4th year, what makes you all think he is going to turn into the player that we all hoped he would be?

    Again.

    What metrics and logic do you use for your player evaluation?

    Re: Get rid of Adam Dunn while is value is high

    Ive given my argument why i feel that he won't get MUCH better. He has had 4 years at the major league level to develop, and his status hasn't changed much from the first year to the fourth year. If you would've read about him 4 years ago it would probably read something like this "Exceptional talent, with alot of power, has a good eye at the plate, and walks alot, but his downside is that he strikes out alot, and does not hit for average. If he can correct his downside, he will be a perrinial all-star year in and year out"-----well, 4 years later, we are still waiting for him to be the player that we think he SHOULD be. That my friend is called NO development. What does he do NOW that he didn't do 4 years ago???? How has he developed????? What makes you think he is going to develop????? Please answer these questions, i am interested to see what kind of argument that i hear.

    Since 1970 only 5 players 25 and younger have had a .379 ob% and a .499 slg% (which is where Dunn stands today)

    Re: Get rid of Adam Dunn while is value is high

    Adam Dunn is too perfect for the GAB. He should retire a RED.

    The sooner you get him over to first base, the better.
    Rob Neyer: "Any writer who says he'd be a better manager than the worst manager is either 1) lying (i.e. 'using poetic license') or 2) patently delusional. Which isn't to say managers don't do stupid things that you or I wouldn't."

    Re: Get rid of Adam Dunn while is value is high

    I guess .379/.499 under 25 isn't impressive enough.

    So I'll drop it to a even lower number .369 / .480 and keep it under 25, and to maybe it more interesting we'll make it from 1930 - 2003 From one great hittting era, through the war, hitting era, pitching, blend, now. These are Dunns Peers

    Re: Get rid of Adam Dunn while is value is high

    Guys, im not saying he isn't good. Ive said that in about all of my posts that he is good. The point you all are missing, is that he is NOT going to get much better, and while his value is real high, i say that we trade him for some QUALITY pitching, then plug WMP into his spot, and you don't have much of a dropoff at the plate, the ony difference is, that i see WMP developing much more than Adam Dunn will over the next few years. He has made more adjustments and strides in 1 year, than Adam Dunn has in 4. We add quality pitching, and basically have a wash in offensive stats. Im am not intentionally bashing Dunn, i like him. I just think that it would be better served to trade him for some good pitching while his Value is high. Thats the problem with many reds fans today, they want pitching, and know that we need pitching, but they don't want to give anything for it.

    What part of the line below tells you that Pena won't "regress" like Dunn?

    Adam Dunn at 21 244 ab's .262 .371 .578 .949 - 74 K's 38 BB 19 HR's 54 Runs
