He's hitting homers, but proving again this year that he can't hit for average. Some of that may have to do with his protection in the Pirates lineup, but I don't think it's smart to trade someone of Clement's caliber for a question mark. Also, the Pirates had some lofty demands over the offseason for Snell and Bay. Well, I didn’t mention Jason Bay because of this line

Would Clement or Balentien be dealt at this point? Inside, I'm thinking no...But the cost of winning?

As for other targets, don't forget about Jason Bay. With Jocketty in Cincy, Dunn will be traded for useful talent, not another soon-to-be free agent.

But No way the Reds would EVER take Sexson. They're trying to get younger, not older, and they have Votto at first. Jocketty has already hinted that he wants to move Griffey and/or Dunn, and I've looked at all his trades he has made with the Cardinals and I don't think he'd ask for too much. I'm not saying we could rip him off, but we wouldn't have to overpay like we would dealing with a team like the Orioles, Cubs, Red Sox etc... Yes, Sexson and Dunn would NEVER be in the same lineup.

Dunn won't be too easy to pry away. The only way we get Dunn is if we drop Richie Sexson off somewhere else. No way do we keep Richie and Dunn in the same line up. Dunn also hits for more power, and drives more in. His production alone will cost us something. Sexson + pitching prospect, or maybe one of the catching prospects? Disagree.
