2007 Reds

Dunn is Now a Bargain

Chris Garber
11/22/2006

Some have questioned whether the Reds can, or should “afford” Adam Dunn at his current contract. The way this off-season is going, it’s a no-brainer.


Dunn’s extension, signed right after Krivsky took over last February
, paid him $7.5M last year, $10.5M this year, and a club option of $13m next year (vs. a $500k buyout).  The Angels just signed Gary Matthews, Jr. to a 5-year, $50M deal. Juan Pierre will get $45M over 5 years from the Dodgers.


Let’s compare:

Dunn Matthews Pierre

Age: 27 32 29
Games: 821 875 1007
HR: 198 78 12
AVG: .245 .263 .303
OBP: .380 .336 .350
SLG: .513 .419 .377
OPS+: 128 96 86
SB: 48 64 325
SB%: 75% 70% 74%
Defense: Poor LF Excellent CF Adequate CF
Career WARP: 28.3 16.9 25.4
In other words, Adam Dunn just became a sweet, sweet bargain.
