can we all just agree that 2011 was a fluke for dunn.

#yes.


HI THIS IS JI-

can we all just agree that 2011 was a fluke for dunn.

Dunn himself said the other day that even his 2012 performance was not good. So while 2011 was a fluke, Dunn playing near his career averages more than likely will never happen again

I could careless about BA. he is paid to hit bombs and get OB.

 

[brett05]

Problem is his ob and ops are no where near the norms. Yes a #6 guy in the lineup type now imo

 

[BigSoxHurt35]

As long as he doesn't hit into a ton of double plays, I'm fine with his HRs and OPS %. His average will increase due to his more aggressive approach early in the count. I'll take Ks over hitting into double plays when guys are on.

he had a horrible 11, a better 12, and he looks a lot better at the plate this year. his obp and ops should be his career norm this year along with hrs. and hell no he doesnt bat in the 6th spot. thats less atbats for something this team needs...obp

well put

 

[BigSoxHurt35]

I like Rios in the 3 hole. Konerko gets hot this lineup can be dangerous. One of the more underrated lineups if guys produce. Like seeing Alexei, Tank, and Beckham starting off ok.

 

[DewsSox79]

on a side note...i hope the sox can lock up viciedo long term.

 

[Capt. Serious]

Tank is a guy to build around. Dude threw an absolute rocket to gun down Smoak today.

 

[BigSoxHurt35]

I expect Viciedo to get locked up in a few months.

lets hope!

 

[BigSoxHurt35]

They might be waiting to make sure he doesn't fall flat on his face hitting like Beckham. Is his contract up after this year?

 

[brett05]

I'm not going to say Beckham does anythign but stink, but right now he's like the second or third best hitter on the team. Rip on him, and the other ten guys that stink worse.

 

[BigSoxHurt35]

Well its only 6 games. Im more or less talking about the past 2 seasons. Love him defensively although I was frustrated yesterday

 

[BigSoxHurt35]

If we could add one impact player via FA or trades (realistically) who would ya pick?
