Around SBN: Edgar Renteria is a San Francisco Giant Bar-right-arrows

Adam Dunn is gone

Prd_brick1_tiny by Rick House on in News

T1_dunn_medium

 

After years of debate between strikeout-hating, fat-loathing Dunn bashers and on-base-and-home-run loving supporters, Adam from Milwaukee is now a Diamondback. Here's how the trade breaks down:

We get: Dallas Buck, a right-hander in Class A with low strikeout and walk rates but a low ERA who had Tommy John surgery last year; two players to be named; half of the remaining $4 million owed Dunn.

Arizona gets: 2 months + postseason of Dunn; two supplemental draft picks OR Dunn signed to an extended contract.

It's hard to tell who gets the better end without knowing who the players to be named are. But this day was bound to come, so say goodbye in whatever way you wish.

Not possible

PTBNL’s cannot be on the 25-man roster.

this may be a different type of PTBNL

they may just be waiting for players to clear waivers. Theoretically, those players could be on the 25-man roster.

FWIW

Arizona sources are reporting that the 2 PTBNLs are on the current 40 man

That'll show em

Depending on the other two players this could still turn out to be a good deal. I’m just really bummed out by the party the Dunn bashers are throwing on the radio.

How do the Reds score runs next year?

Remind them that the roster is built around a collection of out-makers. Dunn may not have been perfect, but at least he didn’t make outs hand over fist.

The neighborhood of Cincy

We’re considering a move back to town, and saw a couple cool houses there online. not sure how hit or miss it is.

not a miss!

I actually live there, and it’s a great neighborhood. It has its share of problems (it is after all the largest neighborhood in Cincinnati) but I doubt you’ll find a better value for a house in all of Greater Cincinnati.

Think I can get a decent 3br house for $175ish?

by bobestes on Aug 11, 2008 4:39 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I would guess so

When I moved from there in 2004, I sold a very nice 4 bedroom 3 bath house for $156k. I can’t imagine prices are that much higher.

Not in Ft Thomas.

If you want something halfway nice. We looked there for 6 months. Nothing less than $250 was very nice.

I’d look Madeira / Kenwood / Blue Ash / Montgomery area, but seeing how I live here, I’m kind of partial. Madeira, Indian Hill and Sycamore are all good schools too.

I know I’m late to the party but that WLW “promo” bashing Dunn is uncalled for. Would anyone else here still have a job in the morning if we pulled crap like that at our work?

I’ve never said they’re ALL nice. I’ve had plenty of people I didn’t/don’t get along with.

Most are just regular guys who get paid to be bombastic for 3-4 hours at a time.

At the pace he is at prolly not first ballot but he may be worthy of the big one. Go to the Yankees, play LF/DH hit 45 bombs for 4 more years.

You don't think he could hit 500?

That’s at least a spot on the ballot right there.

Klu

I want to say that I read Klu was hated, more or less run out of town, then 10-15 years later people started realizing that they really did like him. Which is a totally Cincinnati way to look at someone.

by bobestes on Aug 11, 2008 5:54 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I think you are correct

it was as a coach and community figure that he became almost iconic.

If I remember right he was coming off a bad, injury plagued season and was traded for a guy that never played for the Reds or maybe only a few games.

This whole deal hinges on the PTBNLs

If those two suck, then this deal sucks. I’m dying for Parker, but I will be stunned if they actually get him.

the Dbacks have already said that it’s not Parker

by DbacksSkins on Aug 11, 2008 4:34 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

After thinking and figuring a little,

there is a chance one PTBNL could be Parker, who didn’t sign until the deadline last season. That means he can’t be traded until Aug. 15. There is hope!

Eight players it could be, within reason, who are on the Arizona 40-man roster but not the 25-man are: RHP Micah Owings, RHP Jailen Peguero, RHP Esmerling Vasquez, RHP Emiliano Fruto, RHP Juan Gutierrez, C WIlkin Castillo, 1B Javier Brito and 1B Josh Whitesell. Not an impressive lot by any means.

Four players remaining from Arizona’s top-10 prospects list in the preseason include AA OF Gerardo Parra, RHP Jarrod Parker, SS Reynaldo Navarro and RHP Barry Enright. I like Parra’s bat a lot and he plays CF. Parker is a dream acquisition. Navarro’s only in rookie ball but is talented. Enright is struggling in Hi-A.

We Are ... Marshall!

by Thundering Turtle on Aug 11, 2008 5:13 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

so who do you think would make this deal balance out?

i suppose Parker is outta the question, i mean, i just dont have any faith right now that the Reds could ever do anything good. so who else could it be?

by Charlie Scrabbles on Aug 11, 2008 5:32 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

If it's Owings and Parra,

this deal is easier to swallow. If Parker is in it, potentially it’s a big win.

Owings reportedly was one of the players offered for Teixiera. Also, Arizona reportedly offered Chad Tracy straight up for Dunn. I don’t know if that really happened, but if so, the players the Reds get back in this deal figure to be guys they like more than Tracy. Interesting.

We Are ... Marshall!

by Thundering Turtle on Aug 11, 2008 5:46 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

There's really no chance the ptbnl is Parker, right?

I mean he’d be the name in the deal. Not for a 2 month rental. Even if the Backs plan on signing Dunn long term I doubt they’d offer Parker. The only GM I could see doing that is now returning video tapes for Walt Jocketty.
