Eminor3rd Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 If Dunn moves, it's "cash considerations or PTBNL." So I caution, if you want Dunn to move, be prepared to accept that the best thing that will happen is someone else gets PT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The playing time should be given to Viciedo and Moises in hopes either show anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quin Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Weren't Montas and Rondon supposedly just toss in PTBNL types? (I know they weren't PTBNLs, but they were viewed as those "have one tool, let's take a look" guys) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially given how the Sox are able to scout pitching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes perfect sense to me. If the Sox have to send along cash then f*** it. I still can't possibly believe that no team would take Adam Dunn for the last 2 months for $1-2 million. It seems crazy to me. The A's have been struggling to score runs for the last month, fallen out of first place, traded away a big middle of the order bat, took on salary, and they're willing to go to a 1 game playoff to save $2 million?

2nd_city_saint787 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Hahn has to be playing hard ball with Dunn I'd say. Probably asking for something decent in return and not getting it. I'd say if it happens it'll happen on the 30th or 31st after a team caves and gives up a prospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, I won't be...If he truly is asking for something decent back and doesn't get it he shouldn't just cave say alright here....Show other GMs that he don't f*** around. Play Semien all over the place to get him ABs. If they wanna give Wilkins a look they could still just sit Adam on the bench half the time and also give him a day a week at 1B. There's gonna be plenty of roster space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just gave away Gordon Beckham for essentially nothing. There is no reason they woudl be holding on to Dunn right now, other than no one wants him.

You really think Adam Dunn could be the difference between winning the division and finishing 2nd? Looking at past lineups, I guess it comes down to sub par CF defense from Crisp + Dunns bat vs. above average CF defense from Sam Fuld + his bat. I'm not sure if that difference even equals one win.

Vance Law Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Remember when you were complaining that you couldn't believe Beckham was still on the team. And you couldn't believe how bad Beckham was. And of course he had passed through waivers without anyone picking him up. And then you found out that he hadn't been put on waivers until 3 weeks into August. And that Beckham had been claimed on waivers. And then you at no point thought about adjusting your knee-jerk complaint trigger mechanism.
