The Orioles have announced that they’ve acquired left-handed outfielder Alejandro De Aza from the White Sox for minor league pitchers Miguel Chalas and Mark Blackmar. It’s currently unclear whether the Orioles claimed De Aza on waivers or if he cleared.
Billy isn't playing Dunn in LF.knucklecup said:A's interested in Adam Dunn. Billy Beane and I are on the same page.
How did take until 2014 for Adam Dunn to be on the A's?knucklecup said:RT @Buster_ESPN: The Oakland Athletics are closing in on a deal for Adam Dunn.
MakMan44 said:Done deal, White Sox get RHP Nolan Sanburn,. Should be interesting seeing Dunn playing LF in O Coluseum.
I was making fun of knucklecup, I don't actually think Dunn will be playing LF for the A's.DanoooME said:
There's zero chance that's happening. A's PAs at DH
143 - Alberto Callaspo
140 - John Jaso (DL)
69 - Yoenis Cespedes (traded)
52 - Coco Crisp (kind of needed in CF)
39 - Josh Donaldson
38 - Brandon Moss
Everyone else - 72
When Alberto Callaspo is your most frequent DH, you've got lots of ABs for Dunn in that spot.

According to FanGraphs, Dunn is about 20 runs per 150 games worse than Jonny Gomes. And that is comparing Dunn when he was a regular outfielder, half a decade ago to Gomes now. So, you should assume the gap is even larger now, as Dunn is both older and out of practice.knucklecup said:Is Jonny Gomes better at defense than Adam Dunn?

Yeah I believe I saw a story, about a week or so ago, that said he was frustrated with the higher ups.E5 Yaz said:
This had been boiling for reasons beyond the W/L. Helluva year for the Astros; rarely has a team been so simultaneously praised for organization innovation and mismanagement during the same season
