Yeah. The Yankees made a mistake last offseason when they signed Posada to a 4 year deal in 2007 rather than Dunn after 2010. They should have predicted that in 3 years they'd want to move Posada to DH and only signed him for 3 years and then not had him walk away.

 

Was Posada that bad defensively where they felt they had to move him to DH? Oh, and if you want the team that I think would take Dunn, it would have been the Cubs if Pujols had stayed in St. Louis.

No they won't, he can defer money as long as he gets all of it eventually. It is a regular thing.

 

If he is traded the option is 100% in effect he gets it all next year that is how MB wanted the contract.

It's called strategy. Johnson is absolutely the perfect pitcher for Dunn to hit.

yea and just yesterday people were saying dunn is the worst hitter theyve ever seen and why did we sign him.ok , ozzie ph's him and strikes out then its, why would he bring in dunn??he sucks!

They wanted to try to keep him healthy. He's played 51, 111, and 120 games the last 3 years respectively.

MB can also choose to waive the option. If the Sox are totally out of the pennant race this season and clearly not resignning him, that's reason why he might do so.

No, that was a preventative measure to assure that he'd get his 10/5 rights. That option is no longer in effect.

I think it was more to do with keeping him healthy enough so they could use that bat of his

(i wish , haha) anyways ,well thats why hes a mlb manager and everyone is at home on soxtalk, so it must not be that obvious :)

Let's see if this offense can solve a bad reliever.

What is Melissa saying? Dunn sucks or people are complaining too much?

It's not easy to walk Alexei.

well one second dunn is the worst hitter in the world then its he should pinch hit.

There's only one

person who thinks Dunn

is worst hitter in world

Konerko is 7-11 against Gregg or something like that.

A wild pitch would be very nice here!

someone was saying it in the thread yesterday, dont remember who. anyways, if we get a walk off its because ozzie then, since its always his fault... :gosox1:

We may have something brewing here. No outs two on and Konerko up

Will they finally pull one out.

SWING THE BAT CAPTAIN

Gregg aced Konerko with two pitches.

Just take Gregg's pitches. He can't get anything over but the breaking ball right now.

Why wasn't Paulie bunting?

 

I would have just suggested pitching around Konerko to get to Rios.

Wow, not even close. Get tossed Ozzie
