RUMOR: Dunn to the Brewers?

[reds44]

Apparently the "hot" rumor in Atlanta this afternoon was Dunn going to the Crew for Weeks, Gwynn, and Wise.

 

Now mind you, this is only a rumor, and this isn't like the Jacque deal. I've heard Dunn deals before that didn't go down, but just some food for thought.

[baseball7897]

Reds could do better than that.

[E.J.]

That would absolutely suck if the Brewers got Dunn.

[ctcf]

I'd vomit.

 

We could top that offer.

The main value in that trade is weeks and the reds already have Phillips breaking out. Gwynn is a 4th OF and Wise is a fine 6th inning guy, but I don't get it.

 

Hurry Jim, call Krivisky right now and offer him Pagan, Ohman, and DeRosa.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Phillips has been fine for them at 2nd, they have Freel and Hamilton in CF, and...well I guess there's always Krivsky's reliever fetish. But still, I don't think a deal like that would go down.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

that's a really weak offer for Dunn.

Eh, we would find a place for Weeks and Phillips to play. I don't know where, but we would. I don't care what he is hitting htis year, Weeks has a boat load of potential and I would love to have him.

 

If you think you can do better, lets hear an offer.

[reds44]

Freel=bad

Hamilton=hurt

 

Besides, Hamilton is more of a COF anyways.

[Rusch33]

Rickie Weeks is horrible this year.

[Balsa]

I really hope this doesn't happen.

Well, if Guzman ever gets healthy, a deal of EPatt, Guzman, and Cedeno would be just as good as that Brewers deal.

Guzman is hurt, and Cedeno is a AAAA player.

That's why I said if he ever does get healthy. And the jury is still out on Cedeno...it's not like he's really old or anything. I'm not advocating that deal. All I'm doing is trying to come up with a better trade offer than that "proposal" that the Brewers made. You're seriously telling me you'd rather have Matt Wise over Angel Guzman?

Angel Guzman is hurt.

 

Weeks by himself is better then Cedeno and Patterson combined.

Are you completely blind? What part of "IF" do you not understand? I said "IF Guzman gets healthy." That being said, I doubt he will be healthy by July 31.

 

And how can you say that statement when no one has even seen Patterson play a lick of ball in the majors? It's not like Weeks is setting the world on fire this year either.

Then why are you even bringing it up?

 

How can anyone say anything about prospects then? Weeks has produced in the majors (last year) and has a world of talent.

 

I have no idea what Dunn trade value is, and from what I am hearing people aren't exactly offering top dollar for him.

I have an idea...play one of them at third!!!

 

I wonder what E.E. did in previous life that was so bad that God made him be in the Reds organization.

Now THAT'S a good question.

 

I have no idea what the hell we are doing with him. It's like we are trying to mess him up. Part of me hopes we trade him for his own good, even though he is my favorite Red.

[RammyFanny]

How about something along the lines of Marshall and Epatt or Fontenot?

Although that didn't work out too well for Wily Mo.

 

In regards to the trade proposal, it just doesnt make sense to me. I would think they would be going after young starters....or 17 relievers.

[mhuber92211]

wow, the initial reaction is that a deal of a young 2B that is better the eric patterson, a young OF with speed and good tools, and a hard throwing middle reliever is ridiculous.

 

I still have no idea why people here value Dunn so much. MLB professionals obviously don't. That deal is so overly in the favor of the Reds its ridiculous. It is the equivalent of Patterson, Murton and Wuertz. Is that a deal that the board members here would be in favor of? I know I wouldn't be. Dunn is overvalued, has a bad attitude and a huge ego. I would rather DeRosa start everday in RF then have Dunn on this team. I doubt the difference in power would be a huge difference on this team when compared to the other parts of DeRosa's offense that are better then Dunn (see strikeout records)

There was just no room for Wily Mo.

 

We've been giving some of Edwin's playing time to Ryan Freel and Norris Hopper. Doesn't make any sense.

You are somehow wrong on both sides. Dunn is about a billion times more valuable than you're giving him credit for. Murton, EPatt, Wuertz >> Weeks, Gwynn, Wise. And if we were able to get him for an equivalency of Weeks, Gwynn, Wise(think EPatt, Pagan, Petrick) we should fall over ourselves to do it.

If that's all we need to give up to get Dunn, I'd be shocked and ecstatic.
