I'd try to move Matsui and a few prospects to the Mariners for Clement. Then I'd play Dunn at DH, Posada at first (didn't he come up a shortstop?), and Clement as our starting catcher. Of course, it would be nice to deal for a solid prospect to play centerfield as well. I wonder if Arizona would consider a deal for Chris Young? Melky would be a decent 4th outfielder to carry.

Thu, 31 Jul 2008 19:24:39 +0000 http://riveraveblues.com/?p=3436#comment-122529 I love that idea, but who would hit first? Johnny Damon or Derek Jeter? The way things are looking I would love Damon ahead of Dunn because Damon is stealing more bases and his OBP skills are still top notch. You think the Yankees want to deal with the headache of moving Derek Jeter down the batting order? Will Jeter be a "good soldier" and just accept his new role? Damon-LF Dunn-1B A-Rod-3B Matsui-DH Posada-C Cano-2B Jeter-SS Nady-RF Melky-CF You could rotate Dunn and Nady from the OF/1B while rotating Damon and Matsui from OF/DH. I like it. *Again, this is an off-season proposal, not right now.* I love that idea, but who would hit first? Johnny Damon or Derek Jeter?

Damon-LF
Dunn-1B
A-Rod-3B
Matsui-DH
Posada-C
Cano-2B
Jeter-SS
Nady-RF
Melky-CF

Nevertheless I would say this, it may crazy/wierd but wouldn't Dunn be a good Benefit as a #2 hitter? Persoanlly he's a great 4 hitter and and he I wouldn't like him as a 3 guy but as a 2 hitter with the BB and walks OBP and of course power he wouldn't be that bad of a idea.

You can write down 100+ BB every year. Nevertheless Abreu over Dunn anyday. I never get it how people hate on Abreu. They bring up the afraid of wall stuff but fail the mention he hustles, plays everyday and is a pretty clutch hitter. Hey I don’t like dunn but he’s not a free swinger trust me.
