And that is the catch 22 one Mr. Wayne Krivsky finds himself in. He has a proven home run hitter on his roster, who has become just that a proven home run hitter. He seems to be on autopilot on what he does. He hits a boatload of homers and some of them win games, but he's not adding a whole lot else (I know I'll get flack for this). And when he slumps, he really slumps.
I think the Reds are afraid that they'll trade him, he'll have a coach that gets through to him, and he hits 50+ homers, hits .280 and strikes out about 25% less. Then they'll be kicking themselves for all time ala Pappas for Robinson.
I don't know the answer to what they should do. If I was WK, I'd try a new coaching staff (and manager) for a year and see what results that brings to some of these guys, especially Mr. Dunn. (I know I'll get flack from some for this as well). If Dunn doesn't improve, then I'd probably consider a deal, but I'd like to see what different coaches can do before I'd deal him. (And I know this won't happen).
Where we gonna go?

How many pitches did Milton throw?
"I know a lot about the law and various other lawyerings."
Hitters who avoid outs are the funnest.
