We are suckin.  I don't wish to give up on the year but it's getting harder to believe the reds will turn it around.  The point I see as key is Jr. vs, Dunn.  I will never bash KGJ because he is a sure HOF and a great ball player ( in the era of cheaters ) that played the game by the rules.  I know he is done as a great run producer and has no real trade value other than sentimentality.  Adam far from Dunn on the other hand is peak age of production.  I hear the rants   too many k's,  low average, clubhouse misfit, and for what it is worth  non clutch.  This is my take on the situation.

Trade BA:  several teams need a quality #3 inning eater.

Trade Stormy and/or JB: as all teams need mediocre bullpen help.

Call up the present future Bruce and Homer.

With this fair trade value, the reds should be able to secure the RH bat and leadoff player that is lacking.  I presume that everyone knew the reds were at least 1 year away if not 2 before the season started.  The core is there to be special and that is what all reds fans want.  Dunn needs to be signed for at least 2 years.  I also would like to see some of the younger arms brought up to learn big league lessons (Maloney, Thompson, Jukrich and maybe Herreraa) for the next generation. If I am totally off base please help me see the way to a pennant for our beloved.
