For the first time since being traded by the Reds to Arizona almost exactly one year ago, Adam Dunn returns to the field where he hit 124 home runs during his career. Fittingly, he will be facing Bronson Arroyo, who was perhaps Dunn's biggest critic after the Big Donkey parted ways with the Reds last summer. As you'll recall, Arroyo mocked Dunn for wanting big money on the free agent market, essentially taking unprovoked shots at the big guy. Dunn tried his best to play it off as nothing, but you gotta think it'll be in his mind when he steps up to the plate during that first plate appearance tonight. Arroyo might be wise to pitch around him, particularly because one of Dunn's selfish solo shots could be enough to put the game out of reach for the Reds.
Twenty-three year old Colin Balester was recently recalled to the Majors after a fairly pedestrian year in AAA. He's made 4 starts in the bigs this year, only lasting 6 innings once. Balester is exactly the type of pitcher that the Reds seem to struggle against for no reason (well, we know the reason, but yeah). A bad night from Arroyo could make this a long night for Reds fans.
The Nats have a little different look than when the season started. Currently there are only 2 former Reds on the active roster - Dunn and reliever Ron Villone. Hopefully we'll be lucky enough to see several future former Reds on the home team's roster tonight.

I was disappointed to see Wladimir out of the lineup, but encouraged there is no Taveras (at least until Dusty puts him in as a defensive replacement).
"Even if he is average, I’d still take him over Willyevergetonbase Taveras." - Randy in Chatt on redsminorleagues.com
Yeah, with the exception of Nix playing in the spot I would have put Balentien, I like this lineup
Well, seeing Rosales at third is no treat, but Rolen is hurt, and despite all the assurances that Drew Sutton can hit, he hasn’t really displayed that. But mostly, I’m thrilled that there’s no Taveras, and I’m fine with Sea Bass batting second since he’s actually been decent recently. Ride that “hot streak!”
by Brendanukkah on Aug 13, 2009 5:18 PM EDT up reply actions
Sutton really hasn't gotten a fair shot
He looked decent at the plate in the Colorado series, then sat for 3 straight days. Then, until last night he was been used as a pinch-hitter. Sutton is getting the same kind of introduction to the big leagues that Rosales got last year from Dusty. With that kind of sporadic playing time, there’s no real way to know what the Reds have in him.

Playing the 'hot hand' seems to be a bit of trouble for Dusty
It must be only because AGon is a SS
One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor.
George Carlin
Yeah there doesn't seem to be a point to playing Nix a whole lot
but maybe they think he’s in the “Nix” for next year. But WIlly’s out. Progress. Dickerson’s going to have to be impressive out there, because it seems to take only a game or two before Dusty’s Taveras-name-writing-on-lineup-card finger gets itchy.

I was thinking that about Dickerson too
It’s funny how some guys can suck forever and keep playing and others are on a suuuuuper short leash.
I’m really frustrated Balentien isn’t playing more (shameless plug for my fanshot about him now)
I can’t believe they think the Daynce Mix is in their plans for next year, and it’s not like he’s earned a ton of playing time with an OPS of .740. He’s almost 29, has never been good over a whole season, and clearly isn’t getting any better. I’m tired of it, it’s time for a new song……Wlad To The Bone
Baseball must be a great game to survive the fools who run it.— Bill Terry
Maybe he's not in the plans for next year
but even as a platoon move it doesn’t make a lot of sense of give Nix much time. Balentien’s splits favor RHP matchhups if you look at his minor league numbers.
As for Dickerson, he now has a 115 OPS+ in 390 MLB PAs. This less than a full season’s worth, but it seems robust enough to declare he’s going to at least be league average in CF, given his positive defensive numbers there. If Willy Taveras starts in CF on Opening Day 2010, I’m going to find another team to support. Maybe I’ll get into competitive eating or something.

Not to mention a first round draft pick in AAA ready to contribute
who may or may not work out, but we’ve got so many options Taveras shouldn’t even be allowed in the stadium after this year.

"It seems like we're not hitting because we're not getting hits." - Dusty being Dusty
I wonder if there's any conceivable way they could trick Abreu
into signing up. He’s gettin on in years, but if you had Gomes spelling him against tough lefties with Dickerson in CF and Bruce in right that would be a respectable OF.
by RijoSaboCaseyWKRP on Aug 13, 2009 5:51 PM EDT up reply actions
that would be a waste of money
"It seems like we're not hitting because we're not getting hits." - Dusty being Dusty
Any FA signing of import
would of course require moving Arroyo and/or Cordero. If they could procure net Hardy and Abreu when the dust settle, that would be well worth it I think. The rotation might still be broken, but I think I think the offseason turns on how much faith they have in Bailey, Owings and Wood & Co. after this season.

You don't think most teams could use an elite closer
or inning eating league average pitcher? They just don’t want to pay what we’re paying. We’d have to eat salary obviously.
by RijoSaboCaseyWKRP on Aug 13, 2009 6:04 PM EDT up reply actions
no you wouldn't
Abreu has reached his DH days.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
No I wouldn't what?
Abreu has spent most of his time in the outfield this year. If he’s passable in LF, I’d sign him for one year at up to $7MM (He’s getting $5MM this year). I’m not saying the Reds could get him – or that the market will be the same this time around – but it’s worth a try to get his production – especially with Gomes as a hedge.
by RijoSaboCaseyWKRP on Aug 13, 2009 6:09 PM EDT up reply actions
he was terrible in '08 (-25 UZR) in RF
but he’s only slightly below average (-3.3) this year. i would say his true talent level right now is closer to -15 than it is to average. and while he still gets on base, which is what this team needs, i think Chris Dickerson could be 90% of what Abreu would bring and he would do it for 400K.
by Charlie Scrabbles on Aug 13, 2009 6:16 PM EDT up reply actions
Dickerson can only man one position at a time
Assuming the goal is a competitive 2010, I think Dickerson is better used as a fulltime CF than a platoon LFer. Drew Stubbs is ready to get his chance, but is still untested in the majors. Dickerson’s value is that he can play CF and together they are insurance against each other.
I think Abreu is worth $5MM Reds Bucks, but maybe Gomes/Balentien/Heisey can provide enough of his value to make it a waste of money. Would you sign or trade for any LFers in the offseason assuming $5MM-$10MM in salary was avalable to do so?
by RijoSaboCaseyWKRP on Aug 13, 2009 6:31 PM EDT up reply actions
Yes, but
that’s a dangerous assumption. Also, I’d rather spend that money on a SS.

Sadly I don’t think they’’l even give it a chance.

OVER-RATED (clap, clap, clap clap clap)
I don’t think you’ll get him for 5-10 mil per or for less than 3-4 years.
I’d give him 2 years at 10 mil per, but I don’t think he’ll be worth much more than that, and there’s no way he’d sign for that.

That -27 is total of all his games playes this year
although he’s moved around enough that he doesn’t really have a big enough sample size at any position to make a definitive judgement.
BUT here are the totals for each position:
LF -12.5
RF -7.4
1B -7.1

I had no idea he was quite that bad at defense
Looks like he’s gotten significantly worse the last two seasons. Maybe the Reds dealt him at the proper time, but for reliable return on investment offensively, he’s hard to beat.

I think it's established that he can't play in the outfield.
Give him a year to pick up 1B and I think he’d be able to at least be league average there, however. He’s fairly athletic, he’s a big target, I think it’s just a matter of getting used to the position.
I disagree
It takes fast reflexes and some agility, especially when you are holding runners. He might learn to pick it better, but that’s all, I still think he’d be below average.
Baseball must be a great game to survive the fools who run it.— Bill Terry
he was made to be a DH
Maybe the Red Sox will sign him, to replace Big Dopey.

I'm hoping for him to go to a team I like, though
A’s would be a match in c.2004 heaven. Or the Royals getting him for sheer WTF-osity
Only way the Royals would get him
would be to play CF
Baseball must be a great game to survive the fools who run it.— Bill Terry
why would he? sMarty won the argument
Dunn has an OBP of .406!! sMarty was just marveling over it. Couldn’t you combine TWO of out outfielders and still not total a .406?
This is awesome ... Mercker is obviously a BIG Dunn fan and
he’s basically forcing Marty to compliment him.

Guys like tHom and Brantley just can;t shut the fuck up.
Mercker is a breath of fresh air. He and Kelch are the only ones that keep Marty focused on calling the game and not talking aobut his golf game blah blah blah.
I much prefer a knowledgeable soft spoken guy who lets you hear the sounds of the game and feel its real tempo than some loud mouth blowhard. BTW Joe was not soft…he was tough as nails as a competitor and di not take shit from anyone especially sMarty.

Does anyone else have this problem:
Pressing ‘z’ or ‘c’ cycles through 2 new entries instead of just one? Pisses me off.

Great crowd, great organization in Cincinnati.
Gomes saying some great things. Recognizing Bronson, pointing out that he’s awesome and should be playing..

Happy with the W tonight
but anyone else notice that the only time this team scores more than 4 runs is when they hit multiple homers?
I can’t remember the last time they scored more than 4 runs on less than 2 homers. Point being, this team still waits around for the home run in order to score, only now they don’t have many HR hitters.

fair enough, but that hardly counts when there were 5 errors for the Giants

So now what do you say about having Nix and Gomes in the game at the same time?
I would be interested (but unable) to see what the team’s record is when both are in the game simultaneously.
Nix sure hits a lot of doubles, when he gets repeated playing time, plus he’s a pretty darn good defender as well.
So we need to Rolen back, a decent shortstop and Harang to get his groove back.
My favorite OF for the remainder of 2009 is still
Gomes RF
Nix CF
Bruce RF
If Bruce doesn’t come around then Wad or C-Dick.. Let Nix play and let him get comy and he’ll hit a lot more doubles in front of Gomes.Ignore that man on the left.
