    I trying to think of a way to pitch this idea to Hendry by making Adam Dunn look like Ryan Harvey or Brian Dopirak since we all know Hendry doesn't care for BBs. :-k

    Matchups: TB: Howell (0-2, 6.39 ERA) TOR: Lilly (13-12, 4.55 ERA) SEA: Pineiro (8-11, 6.02 ERA) KC: Redman (9-9, 5.40 ERA) NYM: Hernandez (10-10, 4.96 ERA) PIT: Gorzelanny (2-3, 3.74 ERA) Looks like it'll be a barnburner today!

    One of the kiddies at Reds Zone brings up an excellent point: In essence, that's why I think the Reds would want to start off with a package involving a #4 to slide into their rotation next season, a quality reliever, a potentially solid future 2B, and one of the top 25 prospects in all of baseball. They want to compete now; losing Dunn would go a long way in hurting that

    Jenkins' increasing age and health issues worry me, so I'd nix that one. If you're unhappy with Pierre, I fail to see how Podsednik is much of an upgrade. His IsoD is a step up, but that SB/CS ratio is significantly worse and offsets any upgrade in OBP he'd have.

    Pittsburgh is slowly pulling out of the race after they laid down and lost for the Mets 5-3. Come on Pirates, tank already! :D TB put up a heck of a fight, but they managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory after giving up 2 runs in the bottom of the 10th to win 4-5. :( Despite an attempted rally in the 9th, KC beat the Mariners 8-11. :(

    Pie also needed the break. He played winter ball in the Dominican and likely worked his rear off attempting to come back 100% from his injury last year. Giving him more time off will help him come back next season fully healthy, refreshed, and ready to go, imo.

    Minor nitpick, but they need 11 losses. Going 3-11 the rest of the way is entirely possible at this point, though.

    Another game where the Cubs got more hits, but still were outscored! Gee Jimbo, why do ya think that is?

    Didn't Eyre sign here partly because Dusty made pre-game stretching optional or something along those lines?

    It'll take a heck of a lot to get Dunn, even if the Reds are unhappy with him for whatever reason. He's one of the premier offensive players in baseball today who would instantly make this offense a heck of a lot better. I'd expect the Reds would at least ask for more than just Murton and Dempster. I'd expect them to ask for something like Pie, Patterson, Marshall, and Eyre at the very least in exchange for Dunn.

    He takes off days every now and again since it seems like his wrist is indeed not fully healed. :roll:

    4-0 Reds after a Ross homer.
  13. Outshined_One
    And the hits keep coming! Hooray!
  14. Outshined_One
    I can't wait to hear the fallout from this one. Here's what I'm expecting:
  15. Outshined_One
    Watch, it'll be something that has to do with Dusty pinch running him.
  16. Outshined_One
    The mediots in Cincy seem to have it in for him. Reds fans are pretty evenly divided on Dunn; half of them think he's the best player on the team who will be an offensive force for years, the other half of them think he's an unmotivated, lazy, strikes out too much, and needs to get his BA to a respectable point. Personally, I'd commit all sorts of crimes if it meant getting Dunn in LF. He'd be a gold glover compared to Moises Alou and Glenallen Hill.
  17. Outshined_One
    Teixeira plz.

    Jake Fox's Cumulative Splits. Fox was promoted to West Tenn in Mid-June and struggled for a bit. However, he managed a good turnaround at the end of the season. He had enough passed balls to make me concerned for his future, though.
  19. Outshined_One
    Over who, though? He hasn't trotted out Bynum at 1B yet, now has he? :P
  20. Outshined_One
    Thankfully Tampa and Pittsburgh have been holding up their end of the bargain. :D
  21. Outshined_One
    Hello, old thread. Never. Gonna. Happen. Hhahaha, you'd be surprised. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
  22. Outshined_One
    Eh, John Mabry's gotten his share of PT over other guys despite being pretty darn bad.
  23. Outshined_One
    You know my one regret about this trading deadline... Would you still trade Z for Abreu?
  24. Outshined_One
    I don't think it's that, though. He put up pretty darn good power numbers and his LD% is fairly reasonable. What most people have been criticizing him for is his lack of patience, which tends to be something that works across aluminum and wood bats.

    Tends to be the case unless the prospect was highly thought of. The vast majority of college draftees at the least start out in Rookie ball or Short Season A. Over the course of a season, some teams keep them there, other times they get promoted up the ladder. Depends on their success and what the team values in development. The Cubs tend to be more conservative with position players, but that could also be a result of the lack of really top notch hitters in the system. Criticizing Colvin because had a sub-.800 OPS is a bit deceptive, TT. If you said you were concerned with a guy who posted a .796 OPS in Short Season A, I'd understand and would have no quarrel. But the fact is, he was four points away from breaking the .800 mark. Would an .800 OPS on the mark have made that much of a difference in your assessment of him?
