Those Damn Diamondbacks

... I was about to make a post celebrating the demise of the Diamondbacks when I got word that Orlando Hudson was out for the season, and they'd be replacing him with some combination of Chris Burke and Augie Ojeda. Since God apparently decided that I can never be happy though, the Diamondbacks had to go out and get themselves Adam Dunn for 23 year old A ball pitcher Dallas Buck and two other players. Since Buck is already 23 and struck out a whopping ...

Diamondbacks Trade For Adam Dunn
6-4-2 — an Angels/Dodgers double play blog —
The Arizona Diamondbacks have traded three players to the Reds for Adam Dunn, according to ESPN and MLB.com; the Snakes gave up Dallas Buck and two players to be named later.
Dunn will be a free agent at the end of the season, so the Snakes get draft picks should it come to that. He's hitting for very low average this year, sporting a .233/.373/.528 line in an off season for average but a solid OBP as usual. The Diamondbacks probably felt obliged to do something; earlier in the week, starting second baseman Orlando Hudson had season-ending surgery on his ...
Arizona Acquires a Donkey
umpbump.com —
... How do you improve the postseason chances of a team that’s 18th in slugging percentage and and 21st on on base percentage? Answer: You trade for Adam Dunn.

With Orlando Hudson now out for the remainder of the season, first baseman/left fielder Connor Jackson was the only big offensive threat in the entire lineup. With the left fielder Dunn joining the team, the Diamondbacks can ...

Right Field Bleachers —
... Big News today from Cinci - The Reds traded Adam Dunn to the massively hurting Arizona Diamondbacks. This helps Arizona stay in the hunt in the NL West and looks to be another poor deal for the Reds who get Class A pitcher Dallas Buck and two PTBNL. Buck has already had Tommy John surgery and is not even considered one of the top 10 prospects for Arizona. As for Dunn, he gets out of the NL Central and into a pennant race. He said that the trade was "one of those pleasant surprises". By the way, ...

(BTW, the folks at ...
