Fuel to the Fire
Richard Justice's blog at Chron.com details an ESPN rumor that the Astros (allegedly) offered a package of Zeke Astacio, Taylor Buchholz and Fernando Nieve to the Reds for Adam Dunn. I realize that Dan O'Brien is a renowned moron, but only John Kruk could think up a deal this thought-provoking. After the Reds pound the daylights out of Astacio, they decide they'd like him included in a deal for their most talented player. Sounds novel.
Be prepared for the rumors to multiply like Shawn Kemp's child support liabilities as the trade deadline creeps closer. As a Reds' fan, my only hope is that their incompetent front office forwards each offer to the other interested teams so that competent GM's have to outbid each other. If Dan O'Brien is forced to deal one-on-one with another big-league GM, a package such as the aforementioned could be potentially viable, which makes my stomach ache.

It's clear to me that both Dick Justice and T-Poo are ardent readers of this blog. I proposed virtually the same package for Dunn last week on this very forum. Always nice to see that I would have made a serviceable GM. Assuming, of course, that I had the privilege of dealing with the idiots that run the Reds.
