This is a discussion on Dunn traded to DBacks within the Cincinnati Reds forum at Strike 3 Forums; I think they made a bad decision and I think they got ripped off....
How is it horrible?? You don't know what you got for him yet!! Plus he couldn't hit with RISP and the Reds weren't going anywhere with him. It is time to move on. Dunn has a ton of power but not much else. The Reds can find a better all around player somewhere else.

Pathetic Stat of the Year- Matt Cain has a 3.74 career ERA, but has won just 30 of his 104 starts.
Reefer being of all people that's not high on Dunn like me. I'm in the twilight zone

Then you have T-shirts or shirts that you received as a gift or you bought when you were drunk or in the mood to just buy something. Those are the Carl Pavano shirts. -Bill Simmons
But who do you really think they'll get with Dallas Buckfoston? I'd be highly shocked if it was Scherzer or Parker, as much as they were coveting both.

I don't think it will be that good of a package but do think it will be something nice. The Reds sending money over with Dunn pretty much ensures that. No other reason I can think of for the Reds to still be paying Dunn unless they get a good package. Most of the DBacks good spects play either first or third where the Reds don't need help unless they move Encarnacion.

To me it appears that Dunn had recently expressed he was not interested in signing an extension. If that is the case, Jocketty must have thought that this package was better than the picks we would have received if we let him walk. So either Jocketty is really high on Buck, or some of the undisclosed prospects.
