January 16, 200323 yr I don't think the Reds would want to do that...they didn't trade Dunn alone to Montreal for Colon....so why would they make the same trade to us, especially with Jim Bowden running the show? Remember....Bowden is the GM that thought he could make a trade of Griffey for Maggs....so what makes you think that he would accept a deal from KW, who he thinks is a total retard, which includes Colon going to Cincy with Dunn AND Dempster coming to Chicago? We'd have to give up CLee as well and....it just wouldn't work out. And we'd be back to square 1....we wouldn't have two #1 pitchers, rather only one, and we'd have 4 guys that have the potential to be great, great pitchers, but nothing proven. We'd have a power hitting lineup, but no major change, aside from Dunn, who is a very good lefty hitter with good patience at the plate...he also strikes out as much as he walks, and he will usually collect over 100 walks...not good. I like the idea of having 2 very good pitchers at the top of our rotation with having a very good, but mainly right-handed, lineup. It gives me chills just thinking about it....along with 3 good pitchers who could be very good pitchers some day. I said I'd do the deal of Dunn and Dempster only if we got both Vazquez and Colon...not if we just got Colon. Colon was the best pitcher on the market, and now he's in a White Sox uniform. I'm liking this, a whole hell of a lot. We gave up very little. Don't worry about it. We're done making moves, aside from the possible signing of Gordon.
