Most of that money is already gone. They are still paying Dunn and Griffey parts of their salaries. Also, new draft pick Yonder Alonso inked $4 million in guaranteed money signing a big league contract and he's on the 40 man roster until 2012. I don't think these were money-moving decisions. My opinion, I think the decisions were based on performance. This team just wasn't winning with Dunn and Griffey. I totally agree with shipping Griffey, but Dunn I wish we'd kept. If the Reds had better players around Dunn, then his shortcoming are hidden. Oh well.
What about this? Pick up someone like Joe Crede or Hank Blalock (if his option isn't picked up) and move Encarnarcion to LF?
