Yankees looking at Dunn?

[Clem Fandango]

From Jason Stark...

 

Even with the trading deadline less than a week away, the Reds have had very little action on Adam Dunn. But one club that spoke with the Reds says the Yankees have explored what it would take to plug Dunn into their revolving outfield/DH vacancies. The Reds, however, are continuing to ask teams for one top-of-the-line prospect and one second-tier prospect. And that's probably more than the Yankees are inclined to give up for Dunn.

 

Would be good for the Yanks. Would also make me hate them even more

Kosuke and B grade prospect for Dunn? Move Sori to right and plug Dunn in left.

Haha, I can't see the Reds taking on that contract for what we've gotten out of Fuk so far.

Then eat some of the contract.

Dunn might hit 80 HRs in a full season at Yankee Stadium

Yeah, that would be a pretty nice move for the Yanks.

doubtful they go this direction after acquiring Nady

why would you say that? it's not like dunn is getting hurt by playing his home games at the GABP, and most of his home runs go like 450 feet, which is a home run unless they've reopened the polo grounds.

I don't understand your logic. Yes, his bombs go 450, so that would be a homer anywhere. It's the warning track shots that become homers that increase his numbers. 80 was hyperbole, I'd bet, but his numbers would improve there. Warning track shots in GABP are homers in YS, as the fence is 11 feet closer and 3 feet shorter there. RC power alley is also much shorter. Dunn would be a 50+ HR hitter there.

dunn has 23 more home runs at home in his career than he does on the road. the GABP has rated as a better hitter's park, both overall and for home runs, than yankee stadium in each of the past four years. jason giambi didn't start hitting more home runs when he moved to yankee stadium, and neither did abreu. you're also merely talking about the fence immediately down the RF line; the power alley at yankee stadium is 15 feet deeper than the one at GABP. there's no support for the notion that a guy who averages about 42 homers a year will all of a sudden be a regular 50+ home run hitter upon moving to yankee stadium.

and randy johnson would get 30 wins if he had that yankees lineup for him while on the mound.

dunn doesn't really hit warning track shots. he either smashes the hell out of the ball or walks/strikes out.

[haubrich91]

Get him out of the NL Central.

[wrigley23]

my sources tell me the cub has offered Marmol plus a minor league IF prospect to the Red for F Cord & Dunn. Interesting although I would not shore up the offense in this fashion only to dilute the bullpen. FCord appears to be a brand of gas can.

Normally I would agree, but if the Yankees can take Adam "Cub Killer" Dunn out of the NL Central, our lives and Cubs pitching would be better off.

Yeah, but that may have something to do with Giambi stopping using when he came to NY and Abreu turning 87 when he came.

[wrigley23]

no link. Sorry..my source does not publish. I do have ties into a minor league Cub team, however, & I get info from time to time passed down in some fashion.

[mdwilla]

Reds aren't dealing Cordero yet, but I could see the Cubs targeting Dunn and one of the reds lefties.

Oh God it has sources

Re: Cubs and Dunn, Edmonds is STILL putting up the best offensive #s on the team. Could we wait til he actually slumps a bit before we try and replace him?
