    Adam Dunn, his new approach (?), and fantasy value

    OK, I have a question for you guys and it's a bit off-topic, but...

    I got a trade offer (standard public league) for Adam Dunn (from a Reds fan). He originally offers up Sexson and Holliday, and then Troy Glaus/Matt Holliday. The second deal's obviously better so I rejected the first one.

    Now, typically, I'd probably do the deal to upgrade my 3B or SS position (I think I'm running Sanchez and Weeks out there now), but with Dunn's supposed new approach (as mission put it) and hot streak, I'm pretty tentative. Plus, due to some sick pitching, my team has a 10 game lead or so on the next best record.

    So, to review it

    I get: Glaus, Holliday
    I deal: Dunn

    My new roster:
    C: Posada
    1B: Ortiz
    2B: Roberts
    3B: Cantu
    SS: Glaus
    OF: Holliday, Drew, Dye
    Util: Sanchez
    Bench: Nomah, Weeks

    SP: Prior, Beckett, Halladay, Zambrano, Schmidt (drop Buehrle)
    RP: Putz, Papelbon, C. Cordero, Carmona, Fuentes

    So, is Dunn's new hitting style and hot streak worth keeping considering Glaus may be returning to hitting well and Holliday, well, I hope he returns to his April style

    Then out of fairness to the others you will be Slagathor.

    I'd keep Dunn.

    Some things to note on Dunn, he's moved down from a 34 to a 32.5 bat (a bit lighter bat is resulting in more control possibly?) And he said that his new approach is 'controlled aggression.' Didn't really go into detail about it, but that's the info I gathered.
