9/1 Reds v. Pads Game Thread

[Aronchis]

Dunn's OPS falls below 900.

[George Foster]

Dunn and Griffey are 0-6 in the first game in September. Will someone tell them it is 9/1/06 and not 9/1/05 or 04,or 03?

And I think Freel and Deno would have played it the same way. It looked out of the park and hit off HIGH off the wall. It was a tough play.

I've gone to GABP specifically to observe Junior in CF. He is at least 4 and probably 5 steps slower in CF than Deno and maybe a step beyond *that* when compared to Freel.

it hit the very bottom of the wall.

Let's hope they have their blackberry with them. Then you have told them!!!

Piazza lines out to Encarnacion. 1 out.

EE is playing the hot corner tonight...wow

Separated at birth? (Rich and Rosenhaus that is)

The way Wayne evaluates pitching, I'm very scared. It's really hit or miss.
I could see Wayne getting a kings ransom for Dunn or getting suckered.

I agree we should get a huge return. Another problem the Reds have is that their offense would really be bad if you subtract Dunn. It would be extremely expensive (if not impossible) to replace his production.

Add Griffey to that equation, even at his age. I almost laugh when I hear about Denorfia and Freel replacing Griffey. Yes, they'll catch a fly ball occasionally, but who's going to produce runs? It sure as heck ain't gonna be Deno or Freel.

Freel makes an error? No big deal. Griffey on reconstructed legs doesn't get to a ball he obviously thought was out. Criminal offense.

Everybody knows Jr. isn't a CF anymore except Narron. It's Narron's job to move him.

[Reds Fanatic]

Branyan strikes out swinging. 2 outs.

Griffey in LF or at 1B for as long as he wants to play is my dream.

Just not Center-Field.

Jr hasn't produced anything this year. His bat wouldn't be hard to replace.

I'm not sure Wayne would trade Dunn for a pitcher. Maybe a pitcher comes over in the deal, but I would like to see a high quality shortstop or centerfielder in the deal.

I agree, that would be ideal, but Wayne seems to have a blind spot for pitching over offense. Again, that's just an early impression which may be wrong.

[PuffyPig]

Dunn will not be traded this offseason.

You can take that to the bank.

In his year before FA, all bets are off.
