Adam Dunn For Andrew Jones?

[Sea Ray]

Hi folks.

I have a friendly disagreement with some fellow Reds fans on another board on this question. Please give me your honest no holds barred thoughts'

As a fan of the Braves, would you trade Andrew Jones for Reds LF Adam Dunn one for one?

[Slyder]

I doubt if many would regardless of team affliation.

How would this improve the Braves? I see this as a deal that wouldnt make sense for Atlanta.

[CincyRedsFan30]

Dunn definitely has the better numbers over his career. Not overly close, plus Dunn is a few years younger.

To answer Sea Ray's question, Never in a million ****ing years.

Thanks for your reply. I know what Reds fans think. I'm kind of surprised they took it upon themselves to chime right in after I specifically asked for the opinion of Braves fans

So General, knowing many Braves fans as you do, in your opinion I'd be hard pressed to find a Braves fan anxious to do this deal...correct?

[General]

Yes. I like Adam Dunn, but you can't take away what Andruw has done for this franchise, and you can't exactly stick Dunn in CF either.

[General]

And I would like to think of Andruw as untradeable in my mind. Don't know if all Braves fans are like this, but I certainly am.

This is/was the first I had heard/seen this brought up. I hadnt visited Redszone in a long while and this just seemed like two teams trying to fit round pegs in square holes.

I'd keep Jones...CF is a tough position to have to refill

I wouldn't even think about the deal from the Brave's prospective.

That would suck ass in thirty three different ways.

[General]

See? Damn Reds fans, thinking Dunn is God.

[Kingdom]

God of suck.

What General said in his first post was harsh, but it's the truth. I would not trade Andruw for Dunn in a million years. Dunn plays a position that is less easy to fill, his defense is mediocre at best, and he has the same problem that Andruw has, he K's a ton. Obviously, the power is very nice. He is a better power hitter than Andruw, regardless of their 2005 stats. However, even after you factor that in, I would not make the trade. I really like the way Andruw has taken on a leadership role, and as long as he does not block out Terry, he can be a pretty good hitter himself.

[General]

Exactly.
