<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->White Sox make pitch for Dunn
Nationals GM Mike Rizzo said over the weekend that he has not received any appealing trade offers yet for first baseman Adam Dunn. Maybe that's because Rizzo has set the bar way too high.
According to the Chicago Sun-Times, White Sox GM Kenny Williams spent the last few days trying desperately to land Dunn, offering up "anyone and anything he has in the minor leagues in a package."
Williams is willing to including pitcher Daniel Hudson or infielder Dayan Viciedo as part of the deal, but an unnamed source says "the problem Kenny is finding out is that Rizzo is acting like Dunn is Ryan Howard."
The Nationals may be fast approaching fish-or-cut-bait time with the slugger who is on the verge of his seventh consecutive season with 38 or more homers.
Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe wrote earlier this month that the Nats may be forced to deal Dunn unless they decide to commit to a multi-year, big-money contract.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

They have absolutely nothing in their minor league system to give up for him...with the exception of the kid they took this year.

How about "Hit Hawk in the nuts for a buck" night? I'd throw some money in on that.

There goes the kid's college fund.
Also, what Funkster said.

I've heard that they might include Quentin or Beckham, but I think that'd be pretty foolish.

You think they'd rather have two draft picks than Hudson and Flowers?

You'd rather have flowers and a dick in your mouth.
If Angelo had picked McClellin, I would have been expecting to hear by training camp that kid has stage 4 cancer, is actually 5'2" 142 lbs, is a chick who played in a 7 - 0 defensive scheme who only rotated in on downs which were 3 and 34 yds + so is not expecting to play a down in the NFL until the sex change is complete and she puts on another 100 lbs. + but this is Emery's first pick so he'll get a pass with a bit of questioning. - 1060Ivy

Hudson may or may not be a solid prospect (I doubt he is in anyone's mlb top 50 right now). Flowers has been pretty bad this year.
Do you think that is the best offer anyone would give them for Dunn?
Further, do you think Kenny makes that deal?
The Sox have exactly one and a half prospects worth anything. Hudson is on the major league squad filling in for Peavy. Morel might interest someone. After that, not so much. Danks is being compared with Sam Fuld right now, Flowers can't hit, and I can't even think of anyone else worth mentioning. Is Viciedo a prospect?

On local radio this morning, they mentioned that Hudson and Viciedo is the best package KW would be willing to offer, but who knows? I doubt that is enough.

They have a 3.5 game lead. The Tigers have lost 7 in a row and the Twins (despite taking 3 of 4 from the Sox) haven't been playing well lately. They're going to coast into the playoffs. Once again, I'm in hell.

I thought for sure that the Twins were going to dominate the division after starting so strong, even after losing Nathan. This is just a cruel twist of fate.

That's cause with the exception of Liriano, they have zero pitching. Not to mention Morneau is hurt.

Yep, I made the mistake of drafting both Baker and Slowey on one of my fantasy teams.
