sin city sox fan Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 I really wish Hahn had acted when I first posted this thread. It's probably going to take $10 million per season to sign him now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took him a helluva long time to appear to have a clue at the plate. I'd say if he hits 35 or more homers and hits .270 offer him 5-7 mill a year. If he doesn't take that, then it's Abreu at DH and try to sign somebody in free agency. Edited May 24, 2014 by greg775 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemon_44 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I'd still traded Dunn at the deadline. I don't think he's in the Sox future plans. If Gillaspie continues to hit and assume the 3B position long term, Davidson could be switched to 1b, ala Konerko, and Abreu to DH. Of course, that's assuming Davidson comes out his season long swoon and starts playing like a top prospect again. Either way, to me, there's been too much bad Dunn over the years to let a good 2-3 month strecth in a contract year, change my overall opinion.

cabiness42 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 As much as I'd hate to see Dunn go, his trade value is skyrocketing right now, and even if the Sox keep Dunn and sneak into a WC spot, I don't see the starting pitching there to make a serious postseason run. Some teams are going to be very desperate for a power bat come July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White flag part deux , deja vu all over again. Â The Sox have survived the first 50 games of the season. Still in it. Let's see what the next 50 games bring, and if they're out of it on July 20, then it's time to move guys. Â But if they're in it, then just stand pat and see if they can win 86-88 games and hope it's enough for a wild card game. Â As far as Dunn, I'm glad he's actually playing like a baseball player right now. He could have 14-15 homers right now, and be having a much worse season. He's more hitterish this season, taking his walks, not striking out at a frightening pace, and actually coming through when it matters once in a while. I hope that continues the rest of the season, and maybe they can explore a 1-yr deal for 2015. He should never play on a multi-year contract ever again.

Texsox Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 No one should blame the team if the make whatever move that removes him from the roster, either a trade or not signing him for next year. If he continues like he has been this year for another season or two a few Sox fans will scream we should have kept him, but based on his total history here, let's move on. I wish him the best. I'm almost a little pissed he's playing well. I believe he has been trying his entire time here but guys who have great last seasons on a contract . . . well.

Abreu doesn't want to DH, he has said so. And Dunn is gone. There are a lot more ways to utilize his salary than on a 35-year-old whose had one good year in four with the Sox. Â I really hope Konerko + Dunn salaries go to a starting pitcher this off-seaso. Between Scherzer, Lester, Shields and Masterson, Shields/Masterson seem like the most realistic targets. I cannot fathom the Sox offering what Scherzer or Lester would want. However, Shields will be 33 on opening day in 2015, so that makes him a questionable investment. And Masterson for as good as he can be, he only has two good years in the last four. Edited May 24, 2014 by maggsmaggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I will not forget about the first 3 seasons. Thought I'd post some of the best lines in this thread. This is a good one to begin with. I agree.  QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 16, 2014 -> 02:26 PM) Im not talking about tarring and feathering Dunn on the way out, I just in no way shape or form would be willing to negotiate a deal with him. Wite, on the other hand, is ready to make him Player-Manager with a blank check One year contract for 4-6 mill a year would be over-generous if he keeps up like this.  QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Apr 16, 2014 -> 04:19 PM) I think even if he puts up a good year this year (.850 OPS+), that's about where his market is going to be. I think he'll probably be able to find a 2 or 3 year deal, but I can't imagine any team giving him more than a $7 million/year average based on his recent history. Exactly. We all applaud what he's doing but never forget how bad he was. Very very risky. Plus we have a long way to go. He might go into one of those 1-for-35 tailspins again with 17 strikeouts.  QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 18, 2014 -> 07:32 PM) To actually be serious, I think that Dunn has left a bad taste in the mouth of Sox fans and wiping themselves clean from him would be best for both parties. If they brought him back at $2-3 mill on a 1 year deal to be one half of a RHP DH platoon, I wouldn't complain, but I don't know if Dunn wants that at this point in his career. Reasonable post. 2-3 mill for one year. I'd give him 4-6 if he keeps up like this, but your figure is reasonable too.  QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ May 24, 2014 -> 11:57 AM) Only in Greg's world is a .270 hitter with 35 HR worth just $5 milliin per year.

One year deals for Dunn the rest of the way unless he hits 40 or so homers this year. He could then get a Kepp-like three year deal. All that said, I applaud him for homering last night. Great moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
