    I don't know what Nefi's problem is, but I do know that Neifi has a lot of problems! :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink:

    I'm not saying Dunn is a God with the glove. But he's serviceable with the glove. And at LF.....who cares? He gets what, 3-4 chances a game? And that's on a busy day.

    What would you accept for a player of Aramis Ramirez's value? That's pretty close to what Dunn is. Please don't compare Dunn with his .240 BA, horrible defense, and 8 trillion strikeouts with Ramirez. With all of these outrageous proposals (and demands from the other side), I'd rather try to get Kearns. As Kaspar & Brenley said, with Dunn it's either a HR, K, or a walk. What makes you say Dunn has horrible defense? Because he's big? Almost every advances statistical measure puts Dunn ahead of Aramis. I think it's a very fair comparison.

    i don't think you know what ironic means I believe I do. Do you? In this case, it was used in a sarcastic, scoffing, mocking manner. Main Entry: ironic Part of Speech: adjective Definition: sarcastic Synonyms: acrid, alert, arrogant, backbiting, biting, bitter, burlesque, caustic, chaffing, clever, contemptuous, contradictory, critical, cutting, cynical, defiant, derisive, disparaging, double-edged, exaggerated, implausible, incisive, incongruous, ironical, jibing, keen, mocking, mordant, paradoxical, pungent, quick-witted, ridiculous, sardonic, satiric, satirical, scathing, scoffing, sharp, sneering, spicy, trenchant, twisted, uncomplimentary, unexpected, witty, wry Antonyms: sincere Source: Roget's New Millennium™ Thesaurus, First Edition (v 1.1.1) Copyright © 2005 by Lexico Publishing Group, LLC. All rights reserved. irony deals with opposites. people have changed the true meaning of the word. true irony has nothing to do with sarcasm.

    7/10. I got 2, 7, and 10 wrong.

    Agreed. Something is going to happen. Our current outfield looks like this: Hairston Burnitz Murton Greenberg(DL) Greive Hollandsworth Gerut Thats SEVEN outfielders. Six if you dont count Greenberg. I think one of Gerut/Hollandsworth/Hairston is going to be traded. Also, hendry was quick to mention that gerut could play center. Maybe he is planning on trading CPatt (our 8th outfielder) to someone soon. But if Grieve or Murton go back to the minors, we're back in the same situation as before. I don't think this trade necessarily means another trade is imminent, though I refuse to believe Hendry is done.

    Any suggestions? A-Rod? Abreu?

    I think I was tossing out more stats to help your argument, not refute it. Or maybe not, I'm prety groggy right now.

    I'd say it's pretty close to being equal: As you point out, the Reds have outscored the Cubs by 31 runs. Is the differece between Holla/Dubois/Murton and Dunn more than that? Not really: To date, our trio of LF have created about 51 runs of offense, while Dunn has generated about 80 runs for the Reds. I'd say that if the Cubs had Dunn in a corner OF spot this season instead of the Holla+Dubois/Murton platoons they'd have scored about as many runs as the Reds this season. In other words, if you ignore LF production our offenses are on pretty equal footing. Still, those 30-ish runs are nothing to scoff at. That's about three full wins, and three wins gets us a lot closer to the playoffs. Interesting, thanks for the numbers. I'm trying to find out where those extra runs the Reds are scoring are coming from. Is the difference between Felipe Lopez and Neifi and Griffey and our CFs really equal to the difference between Aramis and Randa and Lee and Casey? (assuming catcher and 2B production is equal, which I assume pretty much is). It really seems like the Cubs should score a lot more runs than the Reds if we ignore the Dunn effect. I guess not, though.

    Roast.... you are aware that Cincinnati has outscored us 458-427 so far this season ?? Like I said before. The Cubs lineup + Dunn > The Reds lineup + Dunn The Reds have scored exactly 458 runs The Cubs have scored exactly 427 runs Dunn has 54 RBI you do the math I agree with Roast. Dunn has also scored 64 runs (4th best in the NL). You can't discount the runs the Reds score because of Dunn's OBP. Dunn is simply a difference maker.

    it pains me to admit that the cardinals uniforms are really awesome. other great unis: dodgers a's cubs (pinstripes) yankees red sox in case you can't notice the trend. simpler and cleaner = better

    Just a slight nitpick, but I distinctly remember that the overall feeling on the board was that signing Pudge to his 4/40 deal would be a mistake. So no, not everyone was clamoring for Pudge. I actually wanted the Cubs to re-sign Damian Miller. I liked him. :(

    Especially that other Dunn, he's brutal. D'oh! Meant Wily Mo for the "second Dunn". He really is similar to the young Sammy Sosa... time will tell if he finds the plate discipline to become a great hitter. OR THE STEROIDS LOL
