Healthy Dunn or Hurting Sweeney

[B Dizzle]

Who is the better choice at first base for the upcoming week?

Any opinions would be appreciated.

Wait to see if Sweeney starts today and this weekend and is still hitting. If Sweeney looks like he's going to be starting, I'd go with him because he will hit for a better average and have close to the same power as Dunn.

Normally I'd say Sweeney, but not only does he had sprained ligament in his wrist but he pulled a hammy yesterday. My guess is he's gonna sit for a few days.

your right about the average of course but not on the power. anyone who has seen the reds play knows their stadium is just rocketing balls out of there like it was coors field jr. dunn hit one yesterday against my cards that was down and away and he PULLED it to right field for a dinger. he will hit 35+ as will kearns and boone. this place really is giving up tons of HR and as you know those guys play half their games there.

They are now reporting that Sweeney is expected to be out for several days so you probably want to bench him until he starts again.
