“FORGET DUNN, WE NEED NATE MCCLOUTH FOR CF! THAT KID IS AMAZING!”

No we don’t and no he isn’t. McClouth had 1/2 a good season before falling off. His defense is also extremely overrated. We’d have to trade way too much to get a mediocre player. PASS.

[...] River Ave. Blues says Adam Dunn is a "tempting target" for the Yankees and should remain on their radar until he signs. [...]

Dunn is the last thing the Yankees need. He can’t field, run or make contact with a baseball. That is a nightmare on a team with older players that will need to DH. He is not clutch. This is a real baseball team and not fantasy which you obdviously play to have written this blog. These types of players belong in beer league soft ball games.

Ed, I see what your getting at, but if the hitter walks, the sac fly is still in order, and the chance for multiple runs increases. Getting on base (which includes circling them) without scoring an out is the most valuable thing you can contribute offensively.

Outproduce from what perspective? Offense? Home Runs? Walks? OPS? Defense? Speed? There’s a lot more to a player than quoting how many times Dunn’s hit 40 hrs and OPS’d over 900. Heck, Bobby was a perennial .300/.400/.500 player until two years ago. It’s inaccurate to just look at selective totals and demonstrate a player’s worth or ability. Fangraphs has done that and both players come out to be nearly a wash.

I agree that a team in a vacuum would just sign Dunn, but I would think that Matsui would be a profitable addition to any team on the west coast that has a large Japanese-American population. (Seattle – San Fran – Oakland – LA)

After all, he is Godzilla.

I’ve heard that Dunn doesn’t even enjoy playing the game of baseball. Does anyone know if there is any truth to that?

Also… explain to me how we could dump Nady AND Matsui? Nady I can see going (although I like the way he plays the game), but who would take Matsui with a no-trade clause?
