On the slim chance that the Diamondbacks GM Josh Byrnes is reading this - please, don't let Adam Dunn become a "rent a player" that we will lose when the season ends. He has already had such an impact at the heart of the order in our lineup, the idea of him not being back with the team next season is virtually unthinkable!
Before the acquisition of David Eckstein today, I was hoping that if Orlando Hudson departs as a free agent at the end of the season as he seems to be expected to do, that it might be possible to have Justin Upton move to second base for next season. If I remember correctly, he started as a shortstop and was moved to right field because Stephen Drew also played shortstop. Couldn't Justin Upton learn to play second base and perhaps feel more comfortable there than in the outfield, and then Adam Dunn, if the D-backs can find a way to keep him, could stay in right field? Granted, Dunn may not be spectacular defensively, but as long as he drives in more than he lets in, I as a fan can live with that! Besides, Upton has looked rather tentative all season in right field, at least to me, and Romero was doing a better job defensively in right field after Upton went down with an injury some weeks back.
So please, Mr. Byrnes, figure out a way to have Adam Dunn in a Diamondback uniform next season - let's keep his bat and his presence with our club permanently!
