2008-09 Hot Stove Thread

I'm late to the party, but if my team signed Dunn, I'd be excited. Well, not as excited as if they'd signed Tex, but still. I like Dunn a lot. Sure, he'll frustrate the hell out of you at times with his Ks, but all (OK, most) power hitters do to some extent. I'll take 40+ homers any day.

Oh, damn. I guess it would helped if I read a few posts previous to that one. Awful, awful joke. ;D

 

Fuck Wily Mo, seriously.

I think the Sox should trade Buchholz to the Astros for Miguel Tejada.

 

Buchholz is definitely gone, but when and where he'll be going is anyone's guess.

 

I'm sure some would consider that a Sterling trade in a Silver fantasy league.

 

The Sox aren't trading Buchholz. You think Smoltz, Wakefield and Penny are going to make 80 starts between them?

 

They didn't seem too shy about putting Buchholz on the trading block when Saltalamacchia rumors starting swirling. While I wouldn't like to see him go, I think he still needs a lot of work in the minors, but Masterson will likely make some starts, too.

 

I like Dunn a lot, but as a Cubs fanboy who watches WAY too many NL Central games, Dunn is a better player when you don't watch him every day.

I'd take him on my team, especially if my team was solid defensively at shortstop and centerfield, but his strikeouts and horrible defense can be frustrating.

 

And I'll add this: Dunn and Pena's batting practice will be a spectacle. Those are two massive guys with massive power.
