I started this thread and now we have seven pages of discussion.
Excuse the shit out of me for trying to liven it up in here.
If everyone hates the Dunn discussions so much, feel free to start another thread, or ignore the Dunn thread. It isn't complicated.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
But it isn't 7 pages of discussion....it is 7 pages of the same bullshit we have had 10 other times in the past 6 months, in reality, it is probably about 100 pages of pointless discussion.
Sorry, I just think dealing in hypotheticals is a waste of time because things are the way they are, they aren't going to change.

I enjoy the conversation and I enjoy dealing in the "what-ifs." It's relevant to me because there were several left-handed outfielders available in the offseason (Bradley, Dunn, Abreu, and Ibanez). Why can't we talk about the offseason decisions Hendry made? Why was Dunn not even considered and Bradley was the top of the list? Why didn't Hendry pursue Ibanez or Abreu? Are these not relevant questions?
Seriously. It isn't hard to *not* click on this thread if you aren't interested in it.

Its not about not being interested, that wasn't my point. My point is you Dunn lovers get up in arms because of all the statements of hate about him and you cant seem to understand its because you bring his name up and every single drop of a hat. Its like the Wilkerson stuff back on ITI.
It just feels like political discussion, neither side is convincing anyone of anything, both sides make their statements, take shots at the others position and it goes around and around over and over. I enjoy talking about what-ifs as much as anyone, I love baseball discussion, I've done the Dunn discussions like a thousand times already. Like I said if it would have said Ibanez instead of Dunn it would have made for actual discussion instead of the same bullshit.
Sorry for being a dick about it, but its gotten so old that every time I see Dunn get brought up on this site now, it makes me want to go bash my head into a wall.
