Does Adam Dunn get traded? He is a notorious base clogger after all.

Edit: I now see the Reds probably aren't going to pick up his 2008 option and let him take free agency, problem solved!

[/ QUOTE ]

Seriously? I'm not a huge Dunn fan or anything, but the guy did hit 40 HR's along with giving an OBP of .386 and an OPS of .940. His option is only $12 million, what is the point of not picking it up?

I will admit that my research consisted of typing Adam Dunn free agent into google and hitting the I'm feeling lucky button, so ymmv.

How long until the Reds are back in the postseason? Will it be 2008 or do you think it will take until 2009?

why do teams feel the need to pay 'name' managers all kinds of money? wtf, spend it on the team in some other capacity and hire some non name from AAA.

obv, but the Reds do have a lot of young talent in their organization. Top 2 and 3 of the top 10 prospects in the International League. Jay Bruce is the top prospect in all of the minor leagues and won Baseball America's minor league player of the year. He's only 20 and looks absolutely sick.

Also, reports have said Jocketty was offered the Reds CEO position, whatever that means. Supposedly it's a position between Castellini and Krivsky, which could only help keep that dropkick Krivsky in check a bit.

Holy [censored]. I just did the same to see what you read. I have no idea who Dan Graziano is, but he's a complete [censored] moron. Yeah, picking up 40 HR, .940 OPS, .305 EqA for 12M is a horrible idea. Even for a small market like the Reds, that's a great deal.

This just makes me agree even more with kyleb's assessment that you can judge a person's baseball knowledge by their opinions on Ichiro and Dunn.
