The Adam Dunn Debate Thread

[brett05]

I do believe in that if the whole lineup stinks that does have an effect on the team

Uhm, did you mean to say something more here?

 

[brett05]

13 solo

yuck. that number really can be looked at as a team. the lineup is soooo bad.

Not really. I mean yes the lineup is pretty bad outside of a few, but I did a quick look up. Miggy has 8 solo shots and Davis has 18 of them. Both are superior lineups to us.

 

[brett05]

Something is wrong with this team. Lack of offence all around, yes. Not Dunns fault

I don't recall anyone saying the lineup is awful all because of Dunn. :shrug:

 

[BigSoxHurt35]

This lineup isn't awful because of Dunn. It's because Viciedo, Flowers, Kepp and Konerko have sucked monkey anus. Beckham also missed 6 weeks.

Through Highs And Lows Dunn Remains Calm

so miggy has 20 w/runners on. thats a lot. sure davis has a lot of solo shots..bad luck and timing? when we look at our team though...its obvious..the lineup blows ass.

No one is saying our lineup is great, but Dunn's RBI production to taters I bet is the same with the rest of his tenure here, poor. That eliminates the lineup for Dunn.

RBIs are a product of men On Base. Dunn does not control other hitters.

 

[BigSoxHurt35]

Dunn has 60 RBIs with no one really ever on base. I'm not touting him as Miggy, but 24 HRs should have more than 60 RBIs. He should have atleast 70.

You guys are missing it.

When there are men on base, Dunn does not produce. Check his hr/RBI ratio. Check his batting with runners on.

We all know that the lineup isn't good for him (though this has been his best 1 and 2 hitters I believe since he arrived).

When there are runners on base, Dunn doesn't hit.

Dunn, I'm pretty sure, was brought here to jack the long ball. He's doing it.
If the question is , Is he choking with men on base ? Yea. Big time

 

[Capt. Serious]

Outside of the bombs, Dunn hasn't been worth that contract he got..plain & simple.

His average is fucking pitiful. Sure, it isn't everything, but barely above the mendoza line, really?

He was brought in to do a heck of a lot more. Not saying you, but anyone who thinks it was to just hit homers really needs to check his or herself.

What was Dunn brought to Chicago to do? Did White Sox fans actually watch Dunn play baseball before he got to Chicago?

 

[Icculus]

Actually, Dunn was better at getting on base before he signed with the Sox, was a much better hitter on the Nationals, Diamondbacks, and Reds, and he hit more doubles in addition to the homeruns.

That said, Adam's one of the least problematic position players on this team.

Get on base and hit more doubles than he has.

Whoops.

So, a guy who is barely hitting above the mendoza line isn't problematic?

His OBP matters a hell of a lot more than his BA.

 

[Capt. Serious]

His OBP matters a hell of a lot more than his BA.

Given that he was a career .250 hitter before he got here, it has dropped 12 points.

Yes, it does matter.

There are guys this year with almost the same stats but are hitting for higher average because they make more contact.

He has a total of 63 hits & not even draw walks...nuff said.
