I'm sorry, but there was a new Dunn rumor

I know JD told us not to do this, but there was a little nugget in the latest Trade Aaron Dunn (wait, Adam Dunn) rumor that really confused me and I wanted to raise it here where it might get read by you fine folks.

This is the latest blurb on CNNSI.com and sourced to the LATimes.

The Angels had preliminary discussions with Cincinnati about acquiring Adam Dunn, according to a baseball source, but those talks quickly ended when the Reds requested a proven major league starting pitcher, a major league infielder -- preferably a second baseman -- and a top prospect. Those demands were considered too hefty for a player whose $13-million option for 2008 would be voided if he's traded, meaning he could become a free agent after this season. The Angels probably wouldn't even trade second baseman Howie Kendrick for Dunn straight up, according to the source.

The emphasis was mine.  Why would we be focusing on a major league ready second baseman?  Aren't we happy with the one we have now?  I could see a prospect perhaps with the long range plan of moving BP to short when SeaBass's contract is up.  But what is going on that we need another second baseman?  Of course, this is all based on an unnamed source, so it might be total nonsense.  But it is intriguing.
