How Does Everyone Feel About Cliff Floyd These Days?

[treebird]

I'd rather see Floyd than Dunn.

 

I'm not as high on Dunn as seemingly everone else here is. The fact that he's gone well over 100 ABs without a single sac fly scares the crap out of me. Stoney was just saying on the Score he went an entire season with something like 104 RBIs - none of which coming via sacrifice.

 

I really can't put my finger on it, but it seems like most possible trades for Dunn would end up nipping us in the butt somewhere down the road (like September).

 

I'm still on the Aubrey Huff kick. I'd gladly ship Patterson, Mitre, and Fontenot for Huff and Baez. Before the flames commence: I'm not a huge Baez supporter, but he'd be a decent addition to the backend of our pen.

 

I've gotta be honest. No offense, but I can't believe some of the things some of us are finding as important. He doesn't have enough sac flies? Well, Aramis Ramirez has none so far this year. Does that scare us to death?

On a Reds radio braodcast, Marty Brenneman mentioned that stat, but said someone in the Reds organization did some research and found that Dunn had 9 homers in those at bats, which is actually as good as 18 sac flies. I'm guessing that would pretty much lead the league. If you don't want Adam Dunn because his power and patience hinders him from making "productive outs" then I think you are outsmarting yourself.

 

This needs to be posted every time Dunn's name is brought up. Well said.

 

Very well said, although the 9 homers is really way better than 18 sac flies since they generally dont result in outs.

Excellent point!
