February 21, 201412 yr Lol, there's a log jam in the OF too. Keep it simple Robin, Dunn vs RHP and PK vs LHP.

February 21, 201412 yr QUOTE (Dunt @ Feb 20, 2014 -> 07:04 PM) So who from the outfield is getting traded? Aleyan Vicieaza.

February 21, 201412 yr Maybe they're hoping Dunn pops a hammy and has to spend three months on the DL.
February 21, 201412 yr Dunn needs as many AB's as possible. There's still a chance he has a monster first half and becomes valuable. We're going to suck anyway. Give PK a couple home weekend games to do some cap tipping.
February 21, 201412 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 21, 2014 -> 06:35 AM) Play him at catcher instead He's been catching blame for years
February 21, 201412 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 21, 2014 -> 06:35 AM) Play him at catcher instead Well, they could throw Konerko back there. He was a catcher...once upon a time.
February 21, 201412 yr Really not a big deal. Could even up his trade value later. Unless the Sox are miraculously in contention in July, Dunn is getting traded.
February 21, 201412 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 21, 2014 -> 08:57 AM) Dunn has played the OF for the White Sox in 2011 and 2012. I think he played a couple games in LF last year, too. He wasn't brutal if I remember correctly. But, it seems silly to state that he's going to get time in the outfield because there's a logjam at 1st when there's a logjam in the outfield, too. Unless Viciedo or De Aza is traded, those guys should be patrolling that corner over Dunn. Dunn should be DHing and playing the very occasional 1st base...primarily against righties.

But it doesn't add to the logjam. It just creates another possibility. It isn't like Dunn is going to be out there an extended time. If he's going well, it's another place to put him. I also think the roster will be different by opening day. Edited February 21, 201412 yr by Dick Allen

Who knows, maybe Dunn will have a good year. It will be sort of a contract year for him. Not that he has any chance to get a big (or even halfway decent) offer next offseason, but if he's planning on playing beyond 2014, he'll need some team to give him a chance.
February 21, 201412 yr I have to believe this is all about trying to give him some extra value to a NL team.

Really nothing to complain about in doing this.

Yeah...I have no problem with this. At least they'll be prepared if some unforeseen injuries come up. I loved Dunn's comment in the paper this morning...should be our '14 motto: "We’re not building rockets for NASA. It’s baseball.”
