Adam Dunn?

He puts up pretty good numbers, but we have far too many streaky players as it is. Watch Adam Dunn for an entire season and you’ll understand why Reds fans weren’t too upset to get rid of him.

Would be the biggest problem IMO. Took a step back with the awful second half last year and plays an offensive position where there are lots of other options via FA or trade.

“I’m a fan of Corey Hart, and his final month doesn’t concern me as much as others.”

Month, lol.

is if we trade Fielder and Dunn signs a two year deal. I wouldn’t really want him long-term. He would be a decent stopgap until Gamel or someone else learns first base well enough.

Even still, I might just go with the cheap option and see how well Brad Nelson could do there.

i think some team like the Red Sox is going to get him for far less than he’s worth.

the only thing that would make me hesitate to bring in Dunn is what Supertramp pointed out about getting value for Hart.

in response to brewfan2’s comment re: “streaky players” i don’t know what that means, especially given the unlikelihood that all of the players go cold at the same time. i mean, Chipper Jones has a reputation for being “streaky” but you want him on your team, right?

do people think it’s weird that Dunn’s hit exactly 40 HRs in each of the last 4 seasons?

i’m glad no one here is saying anything about his K% or batting average.

the one thing that concerns me is 15 and 17 LD% in the last two years respectively. that’s a little low, and a big drop off from previous years. but, the ISO’s still there. also, consider that his BABIP was .249 last year! (though maybe that has a bit to do with LD% and is therefore a cause for concern rather than a hope for some huge jump in production next year.)

what i really wish is that we were in need of a LF and not a 3B. then i think it’d be obvious that we make him a viable offer.
