The outfield defense has driven me crazy for years. I'll be crucified for this but without a DH spot Adam Dunn is vastly overrated. I'd rather save the money on him and go with a youngster or a jose guillen, juan encarnacion type player off of the scrap heap.
I don't follow baseball as closely as a once did but the times I've watched the Reds this year they're god awful. Going to a play a game in '99 was the worst thing to ever happen to the Reds. For the better part of a decade ownership has believed this team was close to contention and a piece away from contending. Leading to such great moves as Eric Milton. The right move would be to trade Dunn, Harang, Arroyo and other movable veteran. It'll hurt we'll bottom to one of the worst teams in baseball but the current system isn't working. Save the money and actually sign 1st round draft picks ie Jeremy Sowers fiasco, invest in and expand international scouting and build a young core of players up.
