I believe what Vyse is tired of saying is that Dunn is a terrible defensive OF. While he generates lots of runs with his walks and HR, he costs the Reds runs with his D. Is that about right Vyse?

Even with those adjustments, and they are huge, he's terrible on defense, he's still the second most valuable player on the Reds and a top 5 overall LF in the majors. Maybe I'm wrong and he's just as terrible at 1B, but I think he'd be more valuable there.

EDIT: He's the 3rd most valuable Red, 2nd if were only talking position players.

Top 5 LF? LF's I would rather have than Adam Dunn:

Manny Ramirez
Hideki Matsui
Carl Crawford
Alfonso Soriano
Carlos Lee
Matt Holliday

No way he's moving to 1B, Votto is going to be there for the next 6 years. That he's the 2nd most valuable Red's everyday player says a lot about the Reds; Good luck, Dusty-still hoping you DIAGF.

I don't agree with Matsui or Crawford, though it's close and good arguments can be made. Of course Manny even though he sucks at LF even more than Dunn. But Carlos Lee, are you kidding me? He's a worse hitter and every bit as bad defensively.

Quite frankly, being the Reds, I'm surprised they have anyone more valuable than Dunn. I'm open to reasons trading Dunn maybe being a good move, but Vyse's reason is not it.
