Chisoxfn Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 SN Report: Sox Trade Jimenez to Reds for Minor Leaguer By Jason Gage July 6, 2003 SoxNet.net/FutureSox.com Opening day second-baseman, D’Angelo Jimenez, was traded to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for minor league reliever Scott Dunn on Sunday. Jimenez, 25, was designated for assignment after the Sox acquired Roberto Alomar and Carl Everett, giving the Sox 10 days to trade him. Dunn is a 25-year-old AA-pitcher who has spent the season with the Chattanooga Lookouts. This season, Dunn, who has seen time as a starter, has worked as a reliever. In 31 games, Dunn is 3-2 with a 3.79 ERA and eight saves in 40 1/3 innings. Dunn has struck out 54 while walking 16, while holding opponents to a .211 average (31 hits). Dunn was a 10th round pick out of the University of Texas in 1999. The Reds are expected to use Jimenez, who batted .255 with seven homers and 26 RBIs in 73 games this season, as a utility man where he will see time at third base, second base and shortstop. Dunn will likely report to the Birmingham Barons (AA) where he may replace recently traded Royce Ring as the closer. Scouting Report: Dunn, who possesses a mid-90's fastball and a plus knuckle-curve, needs to work on his control to become a true prospect. This season the Reds saw a big improvement on his control and it's a big reason why he's now being considered a legit prospect. In addition to working on control, Dunn needs to work on developing his secondary pitches. Stats: 2003 (Chattanooga-AA): 3-2, 3.79 ERA, 8 SV, 40.1 INN, 31 H, 54 K, 16 BB 2002 (Chattanooga-AA): 5-7, 3.92 ERA, 1 SV, 110.1 INN, 99 H, 114 K, 54 BB 2001 (Chattanooga-AA): 7-2, 4.12 ERA, 98.1 INN, 96 H, 87 K, 71 BB 2001 (Mudville-A): 5-3, 2.11 ERA, 59.2 INN, 73 K, 31 BB 2000 (Clinton-A): 11-3, 3.96 ERA, 147.2 INN, 123 H, 159 K, 89 BB 1999 (Billings-R): 1-3, 4.31 ERA, 39.2 INN, 36 H, 36 K, 24 BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 I know that Frank Thomas likes D'Angelo and he may be talent, but we never saw it. Hopefully he can turn it around with the Reds. I'll take the prospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted July 6, 2003 Author Share Posted July 6, 2003 This guy definately has the ability to possibly make it to the majors as a reliever. Despite being older he's had some pretty dominant numbers in the minors. High K's and a .211 OBA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loaiza21 Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 I like this Dunn guy. He has a knucklecurve eh? We got ourselves a nice junky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MnSoxFan Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 Not all that old for AA actually, he progressed fast and kind of stuck in AA, I think he has a chance, better stuff coming to us than most of last years guys who have done well, like Pacheco, Meaux, Francisco, An. Gotta like our scouts odds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted July 6, 2003 Author Share Posted July 6, 2003 I agree. One thing Williams has always done fairly well is gotten good lesser known prospects for his guys. I'm putting together a spreadsheet of all his stats right now, gonna have them up in a few minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JimH Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 Mr. Show ... I finally have to ask ... who is the girl on your sig line, is that Pam Anderson? Back to reality ... this guy Dunn appears to have turned the corner this year. My brother in law is a Chattanooga Lookouts season tix holder and a big Reds fan, and he is PISSED they traded him for Jimenez. He said Dunn's major problem was control coming into this year, and he appears to have harnessed it. His other comment was "you guys have picked up a guy who can be a good set-up guy as soon as next year." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at his stats I think the same, but its always better when first hand people like a guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keaddy Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 I'm totally amazed we got anything for him.......... If the prospect we recieved is breathing and has a pulse-we fleeced the Reds.Good job Kenny......... K-Y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Dunn really has cut down on his BB per IP this year. Looks like a good move. I thought we'd just lose Jiminez and receive nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesox61382 Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 PLEASE SAY THIS ISN'T THE TRADE THAT'S SUPPOSED TO "BLOW OUR MINDS" ? It was suppose to be the big trade, but once again KW got the names mixed up. He thought he was getting ADAM Dunn. In all seriousness it was a decent move. At least we got something for Jimenez. It sounds like Dunn is similar to Almonte(as far as progress and age) with better stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RibbieRubarb Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Steve Sparks is a Knuckleballer... Dunn throws a Knucklecurve, two very different pitches. For example, Mike Mussina throws a knucklecurve as his out pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
