LDF Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Aug 17, 2014 -> 08:58 AM) Hahn should be ashamed of himself for not having DFA'd Beckham and Dunn by now. Why? according to you he should. Loyalty is one to the sox best rep and that is b/c of JR. i argue this point many time before and my stance has not change. With to cut throat part of baseball esp with the salary and having agents wanting the most and not backing down. Why should baseball owner have or give off a imagine of being the nice person. the ugly side of baseball is the business side, but it is expected that baseball owners should still play nice nice.

LDF Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Aug 16, 2014 -> 08:15 PM) We know what we got in Dunn, Beckham, Tank, etc. I want to see some young guys in September. Perfect opportunity to give them a long look. remind me, when can the sox call you the prospect and expand the roster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDF Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 16, 2014 -> 09:48 PM) I see Dunn to Baltimore by the end of month. i am for them being traded. I prob was in for trading them even earlier than the ASG. but if they were not trade by now, why would any team want them in sept? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're Baltimore or Oakland, you really just about have a playoff spot wrapped up. You wait until the end of August to acquire a guy like Dunn so you can still have him for the postseason but don't have to pay him as much as if you get him earlier.

GGajewski18 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Well Baltimore and Milwaukee are looking for bullpen options, I doubt they'd take any of our bullpen guys but just putting it out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy the Clown Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Why? according to you he should. Gordon is blocking Semien, and Semien is ready. Dunn is blocking Avisail from DH duties, which is where I would like to see him for most of the rest of the season, for his own good.

Unless they're going to DH him next season, he simply has to learn how to play RF and better protect himself out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize they were playing Cruz in the field as much as they are. The O's just need to come down with a phantom injury right about now.

Andy the Clown Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Dunn is now teasing us with retirement talk. Unfortunately, it's 3 years too late. Why does he seemingly talk about retirement every year? You know what they say, if you're thinking about retirement, then you've already retired. He should either do it, or quit talking about it.

(I tried to find the article) either way I hope that I am wrong and sox can trade with Balt. for the rtn, who cares at least Dunn can play for a playoff team to end his career.

Baltimore will want no part of Dunn. There are intangibles involved. He should be nowhere near a playoff team. Too risky. He could get in one of those strikeout streaks and buzzkill a team's whole offense. I stand by the fact he will finish this season as a Sox.

Are you trolling, or does the hate cloud your mind THAT much that you think Adam Dunn has the ability to destroy an entire team's offense? You need to use more logic and less emotion when you think.

The team moral boost caused by a HR binge is peanuts compared to the demoralizing effect an adam dunn strikeout binge has on a team. It has the ability to take a team from 1st to last.

You seem to know Adam intimately. Do you know what it is about him that makes him so destructive to a team's morale that they'd want no part of him?

witesoxfan Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 BTW, greg, you refer to Adam Dunn's penchant for doing nothing but striking out, walking, and hitting home runs and how it can destroy a clubhouse and a lineup's production while those same exact Orioles employ a guy putting up a .195/.298/.400/.698 line while striking out 34.1% of the time (147 times) and walking at 11.6% (50 times). Considering Dunn's .229/.353/.446 with superior walk and strike out rates, I'd say he's been a better player than Chris Davis this year, yet the Orioles are magically in first place still. Imagine that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine that. Well, if they have Chris Davis why do they want Adam Dunn? Are they going to release Davis? I just simply cannot see a GM sticking his neck out to acquire Adam Dunn, whose tenure in Chicago has been a disaster. If I'm wrong I'll be proven wrong.
