So the big Texan Adam Dunn is leaving the Reds to become the newest right fielder for the Arizona Diamondbacks! This should be interesting adding the 2nd leading homerun hitter since 2004, he has 198 HR's during this period one shy of A-Rod to our inconsistent lineup. So I guess Josh Byrnes didn't like having J-Up or Alex Romero in there for our post season run. So my question is why did we go after Dunn, trade 3 prospects in the process, but not consider Barry Bonds. Barry would have been a lot cheaper & his OBP would have been about 100 points higher. Well I do like the fact that the D'Backs are pulling out all the stops & trying to better this team to hold onto our division lead. We need a power hitter in our lineup who can strike fear in opposing teams but is Dunn that guy? Only time will tell but adding another big strikeout hitter to this lineup doesn't sit well with a lot of people but I think we needed to do something so I like the trade. Dunn isn't going to hit for a high average but he could turn a game around with one swing for our favor. Welcome to the Valley big guy & enjoy being on a 1st place team for once in your career.
