How is going hitting the ball far & leading the league in strikeouts an offensive skill set? Thats what I call just plain braun. And while I'll agree he is not the only reason the Reds have sucked for countless years, he definetly has not helped their cause. Watching him stranding runners & not even putting the ball in play kills the Reds. Yeah he'll hit you a long ball every now & then, but a base hit with a guy in scoring position will score runs just as well. Yes I'll also agree that he alone is not keeping Bruce from playing because Bruce can play center, but he is not a true centerfielder. The point being Dunn carries a big paycheck (at least for the reds payroll), if he would sign for less great, but he is not worth the money the reds are shelling out.

#1 job of a hitter is to not make an out. OBP measures how well a hitter does this. Look Dunns up sometime.

The Donkey strikes!! :slappy:

Absolutely crushes a 3-1 fastball from Hoffman. Too bad it was another meaningless solo HR huh?

-Up untill that point it was vintage Reds, boneheaded baserunning, bullpen blows a lead they just gotten the inning before etc.

-I don't care if Corey Patterson ever plays another game for the Reds, he is a complete waste. Dusty's allegiance to the piece of shit shows what an absolute moron he is.

-Almost every game this year you have CP and JR batting 1st and 3rd. Dusty hasn't quite figured out they are out machines yet I guess, or maybe its the fact they keep the bases unclogged. Whatever the reason, it just kills us.

-I've said it many times before but it was proven yet again last night, Ryan Freel could very well be the dumbest baseball player in history.

Maybe Dunn would drive in more runs with his HRs if those other ass clowns weren't always getting picked off or caught in double rundowns or whatever.

that and getting to bat no higher than 5th for his entire Reds career keep his RBI totals to a modest 100 or so a year.
