PrintVia WaPo Nat's Journal:
The Washington Nationals have agreed to a preliminary deal with 29-year-old free agent Adam Dunn, a signing that would fulfill their offseason-long search for a left-handed power hitter. Two independent sources have told the Post that Dunn will sign a two-year deal, possibly announced as early as tomorrow.
The move we all knew was coming.
UPDATE (4:01 PM) by BK: SI's Tom Verducci reporting that it's a 2-year, 20M dollar deal. (hat tip to RN)

Bowden is going to have to deal an outfielder
On the 40-Man he has
Willingham
Pena
Kearns
Milledge
Harris
Maxwell
Dukes
Bernadina
Davis
and now Dunn
That doesn’t include all the non roster guys. I say Kearns, Pena, and maybe one of Dukes or Milledge go on the trading block.
Would anyone give Sweaterpants Daryl Thompson back for either Dukes or Milledge? I think I would.
Find me on MySpace- http://www.myspace.com/mixfmkyle
i think they love Dukes
i dont think he’s going anywhere. he would be railroaded here though for his “attitude” and his Ks. Milledge might be had, but i dont really like him that much. his defense isnt good enough for CF and his bat isnt good enough for LF. they might just DFA Pena, and Kearns looks to be holding on by a thread as well. that collection of OFs is just incredible. add Nick Johnson and D’meathook to that and youve got yourself a lifetime’s masterwork.

thats one thing that gets me a little upset
i dont want to debate anybody, it doesnt do any good over the internet, but Christianity is looked upon like it has no scientific foundation, when the exact opposite is true. There are many scientist who have plainly stated that they disagree with darwins origin of species, and many Christian scientist who have written books showing evidence of a creator. It just gets me a little upset when people view Christians as people who are brainwashed and believe whatever they are told.
alright now lets talk baseball lol
"God has blessed me and I will continue to do my best for him. This is more important than anything I could do in baseball." -Albert Pujols
There are also...
…many Christians who believe in Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection. In fact, I’d guess that most scientists, at least in the U.S., are Christian, and the vast majority believe in evolution. The Catholic Church, among others, says evolution is compatible with Christianity.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
i disagree
i think it seems that way because that what the media tells people… just checkout this link of known scientists who disagree with darwins theory….www.dissentfromdarwin.org…also im talking about Christians who believe the whole Bible is true not just parts of it. Genesis does not agree with darwin. for example answers in Genesis

you didn't actually disprove anything I said
The fact that some scientists may “dissent from Darwin” doesn’t mean the majority do.
And all Christians believe only parts of the Bible are true. Common. You don’t really believe the earth has four corners, or that it’s a sin to wear clothing woven of mixed fibers, do you? What they’re arguing about, as always, is which parts to take literally, and which parts to not to.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
last comment....sorry this is a baseball thread
actually most all the christians i know believe all parts of the Bible, and i do. And the thing about the sin wearing clothing of woven fibers, im guess you got that from exodus, is a commandment to the Israelites before Jesus Christ. After Jesus died christians no longer were under those laws. And if you like to discuss it more we can take it somewhere else…
"God has blessed me and I will continue to do my best for him. This is more important than anything I could do in baseball." -Albert Pujols
most Christians I know
Don’t believe every part of the Bible is literally true. It’s an old book, much translated, and if you compare the translations, it’s obvious some translation errors were made. Like misplaced decimal points.
In any case, I would guess scientists are much less likely than ordinary Americans to be fundamentalist Christians, as opposed to other varieties. But they are still Christians.
And globally…IMO, Europeans generally think you’re joking if tell them evolution is controversial in the US.

DC Reds
From FireJimBowden.com. The 42 Reds players and coaches to come to DC since 2005
We’’re in process of trying to a guy with a trade record of working with pitches
God thats pathetic
How does he have a job?!? He hasn`t done anything, really he hasnt done a damn thing. He just got a new job and re-hired previous players, that cant be hard or productive, or anything outside of lazy.
Either Bowden holds the biggest grudge in the world against Cinci and doesnt know that he has the worst idea of “revenge” in the history of life, or he is just the most awkwardly obesessed person with the Reds in the history of life.
I mean really

You'd think that an easy trade
would be to offer an old Red who played for Bowden and is now, well, old, for somebody like Dukes. If Bowden could make such bad trades when he ran the Reds, maybe we end up on the good side now.
However, my poor, un-733t bball-ref skillz suggest that we no longer have any Reds on the roster from Bowden’s tenure. Could that be true?

Dunn on MLB Network
Did anyone see that on Hot Stove tonight? Funniest five minutes I’ve seen on tv in a while. Casey, Harold Reynolds, Al Leiter and Dunn on the phone. Funny stuff.
Dunn: “I wanted to to play for a contender. That didn’t work out, but hey I get to help turn an organization around.”
Jay Bruce is up after the commercial break.

You don't have to
I happen to really like that as a nickname and will absolutely be referring to him as such in the future. It doesn’t have to be your bag. Anyone can call any of the players whatever they want. Except you can’t call Todd Coffey “bitchtits.”

Instead of giving 'nukkah grief about Hova
We need to win him over with a better nickname.

at least he's not a dodger
that would have sucked.
You can’t really hate the Nats. I mean, really. What have they ever done to you?
To me personally?
They’ve beaten my favorite team the last six times I’ve gone to RFK/Nationals Park to see the Reds play the Nats. Fuck the Nats!
by Brendanukkah on Feb 11, 2009 11:21 PM EST up reply actions
well, that is pretty rude.
But, the last six times you’ve gone to see the Reds, they’ve kinda sucked, too. So, we have to share some of the blame for that debacle.
But look on the bright side. The next time you go, either the Reds will win, or the Ex-Reds will win, or Uncle Bud will declare a tie. So don’t be sad. 2 outta 3 ain’t bad…
I want you, I need you

While we're at it . . .
Fuck Bud! Did you see him declare that A-Rod embarrassed the game? Hahahahahaha!!!!! What a joke.
you should have gone in 2006 when the reds swept them
bronson threw a one hit shutout during the second game. the only hit was a fifth inning single by ryan zimmerman.
I went in 2006, just not to all the games
I did see Jimmy Anderson (!) get a win.

Narron pulled Arroyo in the ninth after 119 pitches
But it was one of the best pitched games I’ve ever seen.
Jocketty is pathetic
So we’re over the next 2 years, we’re going to pay Ramon Hernandez 14.5 million, which includes the 2m we got from the O’s in the deal, but guys like Dunn and Burrell are too rich for the blood? I appreciate trying to improve the defense and all, but you are allowed to have one shitty defensive player on the field and still be a winning ballclub. I guess having EdE made that an impossible proposition, but I’d much rather have traded him and kept Dunn.
Jay Bruce turning into Larry Walker is pretty much our only hope.
Don't forget Abreu = $5 million.
I get that Cincinnati may not have been #1 on Abreu’s list, but $5 million? I just can’t imagine the excuses. If they aren’t going to try and spend more now, while everyone’s cheap, what are they going to do when prices go back up? Sit on the other thumb?
Fine.
But howabout some Good News for those who worship at the altar of Veteran Presence?
“Things have changed,” Angel Posadas Sandoval, 74, finally confessed, not going into specifics but nonetheless making himself abundantly clear.
He was talking, however obliquely, about the free Viagra the government is giving away to poor men age 60 and above.
With midterm elections looming in July, Mayor Marcelo Ebrard has been rather creative in his attempts to make life more livable for the people of this sprawling metropolis, which finds itself clogged with traffic, overwhelmed by smog, prowled by criminals and reeling from the global financial crisis….
…In announcing the erectile dysfunction program in November, Ebrard, 49, portrayed it as a way of bringing smiles to the faces of those who have reached the tercera edad, or third age, as Mexicans call the golden years.
“Everyone has the right to be happy,” the mayor said…

Isn't that the point of going to a 5-man outfield?
well, that and the fact that you speed up the game by having more players on the field to shag home run balls that have been thrown back on the field by hometown fans.
