Dunn trade proposal (realistic)

zozo · 11-25-2006, 09:58 AM

Here's a fantasy trade that teams should do in real life, helps 'em both...

Adam Dunn goes from Cincy to the Dodgers, he fills the lefthanded bad void left by the JDDrew bolt, Reds get rid of his salary and his whiffs (Krivsky hates guys who SO, see Kearns...), could then sign a RF & Aurilia.
LA is a team that can live with his lousy defense at a corner OF spot, the Reds just can't... (+Dodgers have cash)

Reds get LF Andre Ethier.
Love this guy, great rookie season: .308 .477 .365, 11 homers, 55 rbi
hits lefty pitching very well (.281 .414 .336/.337 .544 .394 splits so he hits lefies better actually!)
plays good D, although can be erratic with the glove, but that's always better than Dunn (way better range and instincts)
24 so huge upside. I think we have a very good major leaguer in the making, no star (hope I'm mistaking) but a useful ballplayer (it helps that andre is really good looking

)

+ a Rhp
preferably starters Brad Penny or Chad Billinglsey, but I'm willing to bring back onetime Red Elmer Dessens or Brett Tomko + a prospect(Yhency Brazoban?) if Dodgers won't part with Penny/Billingsley.
If Aurilia is definitely leaving, add corner IF Olmedo Saenz to the deal to platoon with Hatteberg...

So, Cincinnati LF ADunn for LADodgers LF Ethier & RHP Penny/Billingsley.
Dodgers need a Lh power bat, Reds need youth, defense & pitching, everyone's happy, what do you think? should teams pull the trigger on this one?

I would think the Reds would want Matt Kemp over Andre Either but I could be wrong. I also think the Reds should ask for Wilson Betemit in return. I don't think the Dodgers will give up Billingsley though.

I've also heard that the Nationals may be interested in him.

Pehaps the Yankees as well, for 1B.

I think Cincinnati would want some of those prospects that the Yanks got in the Sheffield trade in return for Dunn.
