Question for dbacks fans

Question

as some of u may know adam dunn is a diamondback. hr leader.

1. is this a response to manny and what he's done for la?

2. how much of an impact will dunn have on the race and how tight these 2 teams play each other.

3. should the pesky dodgers be worried that Arizona just got more power?

3. any thoughts

Answer 1

I am a Reds fan and I think the Diamondbacks got the better end of the trade.  The Reds need runs and got rid of Dunn, while the Diamondbacks also needed more run support and have it with Dunn.

1. Yes

2. Dunn will have a big impact because he can hit home runs in pressure situations to get the team out of a jam.

3. Yes, they should be VERY worried.  I hate that the Reds made this stupid trade.

Answer 2

its going to be a big impact i think

Answer 3

Even without Dunn the dbacks were still going to win the division. Manny's addition was exaggerated.

1, I think this is not a response

2. i think he will give the dbacks a good lead.

3. the dodgers should be shaking in their boots.

This addition should give the dbacks more confidence.

Answer 4

1. Yes I think it is a response and it's also a response to the fact that we have lost Orlando Hudson and Eric Byrnes for the year.  They needed a big bat in the lineup and some veteran presence.

2. I hope Dunn will have a big impact, he may not put up huge numbers and be in himself the big impact, but he may be a big impact with the other players, he should help conor jackson, mark reynolds, hopefully everybody.

3. No they shouldn't, I believe its going to come down to pitching in that division.

4. I think its a great trade for the d'backs, they needed a big bat and they didn't give up to much for him, and I doubt they will re-sign him for next season so he is just a rental player and will defintely help them down the stretch.

Answer 5

The Dbags just got worse, especially in the long run with giving up prospects.  He's a one dimensional player and really won't be a big factor down the stretch.

Answer 6

the dodgers are going to win the division with manny because adam dunn hits his hr in a batters ballpark

Answer 7

1. A little bit of it is in answer to LA getting Manny & Blake.  But I think it is mainly because Hudson is out for the year along with Byrnes.  Neither of those guys are 40+ home run guys, but they are leaders who start rallies.  The D-backs have not had a prototypical power hitter for years & this should hush the critics for the rest of the season on that issue.

2. I am not sure how much of a impact he will have, but his lack of defense is going to hurt more then most people will think.  Romero was spectacular in the field & ok on the hitting side.  Upton was good all around with the exception to his high amount of strike outs (but he is young still & learning)

3. Yes they should.  I think the Dodgers should be worried with or without a power hitter.  The D-backs haven't even given up 1st place yet since the trade deadline (& without a power hitter) the Dodgers where suppose to run away with the division after the Manny trade.....I just don't think the Dodgers have that team chemistry yet to make help make the playoff run (but they are getting closer)

3(a). I am sure this is just a rental deal.  Dunn is wanting more then he is worth for the D-backs to keep.  I also have a gut feeling he will be another Richie Sexson & Troy Glaus for us.  All hype with not much production.

Answer 8

1. This is a Response to the Dodgers getting Manny.

2. Dunn will be the x-factor for the NL West division, if he doesn't continue to swing a big bat, the D-Backs have no chance of winning the division.

3. The Dodgers should be worried, because they just got that much harder to beat.

Answer 9

1. this was not a response to Manny if it was a response to anything it was  losing the o dog for the whole year.

2. He is going to have a big impact. Him and Mark Reynold have almost 60 home runs combined give them a strong power punch

3. The dodgers should be worried. Having a strong power hitter will really help them out. Also once Arizona calls Max Scherzer back, the dodgers will have no chance at the division
