Dunn traded to DBacks

[Banter]

I think they made a bad decision and I think they got ripped off.

LTR, how is this not horrible?

[love_that_reefer]

How is it horrible?? You don't know what you got for him yet!! Plus he couldn't hit with RISP and the Reds weren't going anywhere with him. It is time to move on. Dunn has a ton of power but not much else. The Reds can find a better all around player somewhere else.

Reefer being of all people that's not high on Dunn like me. I'm in the twilight zone

[love_that_reefer]

I have been all for the Reds trading Dunn for a few years now.

[Kingdom]

But who do you really think they'll get with Dallas Buckfoston? I'd be highly shocked if it was Scherzer or Parker, as much as they were coveting both.

[love_that_reefer]

I don't think it will be that good of a package but do think it will be something nice. The Reds sending money over with Dunn pretty much ensures that. No other reason I can think of for the Reds to still be paying Dunn unless they get a good package. Most of the DBacks good spects play either first or third where the Reds don't need help unless they move Encarnacion.

Mark.. Reynolds!

[love_that_reefer]

Micah Owings can hit.

[Kingdom]

He'd take off in their park for sure.

[Slyder]

Dallas Buck is pretty damned good though

Sounds like the 2nd coming of Brandon Claussen. I'm pieved if he's the "centerpiece" of this deal.

[Doppelgänger]

To me it appears that Dunn had recently expressed he was not interested in signing an extension. If that is the case, Jocketty must have thought that this package was better than the picks we would have received if we let him walk. So either Jocketty is really high on Buck, or some of the undisclosed prospects.

[love_that_reefer]

Jocketty did snag Carpenter off TJ surgery.

From C.Trent:
Players to be named
Monday, August 11, 2008, 07:38 PM EST [Reds]
When judging the Adam Dunn trade, don't forget the two players to be named.
The one player announced was Dallas Buck and the other two players have to be minor leaguers. However, those two players to be named are on the Diamondbacks' 40-man roster, a source tells The Lot D.
The Reds wouldn't have done the deal without getting a Major League-ready pitcher. That means it's either Micah Owings, Max Scherzer or Jailen Peguero. If it's Owings or Scherzer, does that change your opinion of the deal?
Expect the other to be a position player, which would be catcher Wilkin Castillo or one of two first basemen, Javier Brito or Josh Whitesell.
