So that makes a deal of $11 per year. &nbsp;Adam Dunn's option for 2008 is $13mil.</p> <p>At age 33, Dye will be at 35 when that deal is done and Dunn will be age 28. &nbsp;</p> <p>Well, surely Dye is being paid for his superior defense. &nbsp;Not really. &nbsp;If Dunn is a bad fielder at .833 RZR, then how bad can Dye be at .801? &nbsp;</p> <p>Dye is more than likely getting paid for his prowess at the plate.</p> <p>Dye's Numbers<br /> .242 BA<br /> .306 OBP<br /> .791 OPS</p> <p>Dunn's Numbers<br /> .262 BA<br /> .370 OBP<br /> .922 OPS</p> <p>Another argument for Adam Dunn, and another hole in those arguing against picking up his option.</p> http://www.redreporter.com/2007/8/7/165445/2354 xjjeep90 Tue, 07 Aug 2007 20:54:45 -0000 <p>Johnny Cueto goes for his third win in as many attempts, Josh Hamilton on rehab, Joey Votto doing his thing, and Jay Bruce mashing. Hamilton and Cueto for certain will be in the line-up tonight, along with most likely Bruce and Votto, against the Indianapolis Indians, the Triple A affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates.</p><p>I will update this diary when I get home to give you an evaluation.</p><p>Is anyone here from Louisville going to the game?<br /></p>
