Why the did Dunn get moved to the 5th spot! I know he has a terrible BA, but he has the fourth most walks in the League and has an OBP of 0.381. This is really going to hurt Dunn's fantasy value.

Its a great move. It hurts his fantasy value but helps the Reds in real baseball. Dunn completly sucks hitting with runners in scoring position. Kearns is a muh better RBI guy by far! Dunn either hits a solo HR, Ks, or Walks. Not much in between.

So how does that help in real baseball exactly? At least if he batted 3rd he would be on base for Griffey and Kearns.

Where would Lopez bat then? If anything Griffey should get off his high horse and not handcuff the Reds by insisting that they bat him 3rd and play him in CF. Right now, Lopez should be batting 3rd and Freel should be playing CF.

Just put Lopez 1st or 2nd in the line up. Also I agree Griffey should probably hit a bit lower, cause I think Dunn is misused when he hits 5th.

Anything higher then 5th would be an improvement. I'm not sure why they can't move Griffey down a bit till he at least gets back into the swing of things. Some of the Reds decisions just don't make to much sense to me. Hitters w/ a close to or higher .400 OBP need to bat 4th or higher.
Well I'd hate to see how many 1-2-3 innings the reds would have starting the game off with Dunn at 3rd. So I doubt thats an option. He still can't hit with runners in scoring position so 4th is out. Doesn't bring much speed to the table. Personally, Dunn has been awful of late and having him bat anywhere higher than where he currently it doesn't matter.
They would have less 1-2-3 innings, as he has continually gets on base more than anyone on the team. So it should be a very good option. He is slumping now, but I don't see Griffey performing much better, yet he is has the 3rd spot by default due to money and past performance.
