Reds Trades Thread: Post all Reds Trades Here...

More Cowbell Wrote:I wouldn't mind that lineup either, but I think you sell Dunn short. It's not like he's been a drain on the lineup like some would have you believe. Look at his stats for the year:

.262 BA, 30 HR, 74 RBI, 60 BB (this puts him on pace for 40+ HR and 100+ RBI)

Yes, he strikes out a lot, and I sometimes want to strangle him when he can't get a sac fly to get that guy in from third, but he's still a top-shelf player. That would be an awful lot to expect Bruce to come in and put up those kind of power numbers right away.

No but I think Bruce would give you more productivity. Maybe not as many homers but heck more position hitting and timely hitting I am sure. Don't get me wrong about Dunn, I think he is a good asset for a team but not a team that needs to get that certain BANG of of their buck, offensively and defensively. Dunn would be much more effective as a DH. Defense is not really his game anyways :thumpsup:
