Should have been 41 and 0.

 

So are you saying Dye should have never been out of RF? Who should have backed it up? The choices were Rios in RF with Pods or Wise in CF, or Wise in RF.

I would have prefered Pods or Wise in RF when Dye had the day off and kept Rios in CF.

Someone else mentioned it earlier, but Adam Dunn wouldn't completely surprise me

Can Pods even make the throw from RF to 3B ?

I love the HR and RBIs, really dislike the Ks.

I'd rather have good defense up the middle. He can't make a throw from anywhere in the OF so what's the difference? He would have been replacing Jermaine "Ringling Bros" Dye anyway so it wasn't really a downgrade in right.

You know... you might be on to something. Whenever I heard Adam Dunn's name mentioned, I thought "just another aging slugger", but he's actually not that old (just turned 31). And the guy consistently hits 40 bombs from the left. I'm down...

 

Get it done.... or DUNN. (I know, that was bad).

Pods in RF? Um. Ew.

And Pods in CF is a good idea how? He'd see more balls hit to him there anyway.

Way better than in RF. Seriously, I have a better arm out of RF, and you have seen how I can throw!

I guess I'm not that familiar with him - what's his story - all i knew was that he is a 40 HR 100 RBI regular

K's per years since 2002: 170, 126, 195, 168, 194, 165, 164, 177

 

But to be fair, he does walk over 100 times a year, but has a career BA of .249

Not much to be familiar with. He does one of three things frequently. Walks, Strikes out, or Homers. Great OBP, great OPS. Can play a corner spot and 1st base. Neither of them very well.

 

I suggested Dunn a few pages back, and I think he would fit perfectly as a lefty with plenty of thump. Monetary considerations might not work well though.

Clearly. It's where he should get the majority of his playing time.

Yeah I looked at that right after my last post. Yuck. He'll kill a lot of rallies...

If a trade for Adrian Gonzalez isn't going to happen, Dunn would be my next choice. Although, it's more likely he'd be moved in June/July.

I don't see any legit shot at Dunn, but for those saying they would pass on him, IF he is avaliable because of his K's, well, I couldn't disagree more. He would be a perfect DH addition after the Pierre pickup.

 

I wonder how Vlad's back and other health concerns are, but I would think he is Kenny's target for DH at this point.

I think I saw you stumbling in RF one Friday night when my boy Dan was shooting baseballs at you out of the cannon.

Dunn is owed $12M next season. I can't see the Sox picking that up, and the Nats aren't about to throw money in a deal for Dunn.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 15, 2009 -> 12:56 PM)
I just heard Kenny has a guy in mind and he's in discussion to get him. I don't have anything more than that and anything else I add would be pure speculation.

 

I think he'll make one more hard push at Adrian Gonzalez, but I don't think San Diego is ready to let him go. I honestly don't know who it will be, but I got a sneaking suspicion it won't be anyone we have speculated too heavily about. There just aren't a lot of FA options out there, so you'd have to think the club is looking to go the way of a trade.

Would it be logical to speculate that it could be someone like Adam Dunn? hmmmmm :-?

The Sox would probably have to move Jenks first because it's not very likely that the Nats are going to eat any of that money.

More likely Konerko.

Well, add a DH and at least it's a complete roster.

i dont see trading prospects and paying 12 million for one year of dunn...
