    Adam Dunn ffffing blows

    He strikeouts almost every at bat and can't field worth SShhit. What a loser.

    I wonder how much he gets paid these days?

    No team will win anything with this guy. He will hit 40 home runs every year but 39 of them are meaningless. Glad the Reds let him go.

    This could be Adam Bumm's 5th straight 40 hr season and will be his 5th straight with over 160 k's as well....

    You are very correct....

    A couple of months ago the bluejays GM spoke to reporters that Dunn was overrated and a crap player. Thank god they did not make a trade for him.

    Ya, your right, it's Andruw

    This from LA Times:

    Jones may or may not play this year: According to The Los Angeles Times Dodgers OF Andruw Jones has declared his season basically over. Manager Joe Torre, however, said on Saturday that he thinks Jones could return before the end of the year.

    Torre is looking to lose the season right now with all the bums he's playing right now

    Adam Dunn hit 2 absolute Bombs last night, crushed em. Neither one went out, good ole AT&T park. It's truly amazing that Bonds broke the single season Home Run record at this park, I don't care what he was on.

    Dunn makes 13 large a year?

    Unreal. Who gave him this deal?

    I'd rather have 13 Marco Scutaro's.

    So what about Dunn and Jones?

    The Yankees have a whole team full of overpaid players that aren't worth a shit.

    Dunn is way better than Andruw Jones, that's for sure. Better power and gets on base a heck of a lot.

    Jones was an idiotic signing. Lazy player who I just knew would fall apart if given the money.

    Worthless POS and he makes more than Dunn.

    Well said, Jones at .158 with 3 HR's vs Dunns .268 with 36 HR's
    Dunn crushes his lazy ass.

    He is a .900 career OPS guy, there is nothing wrong with him. That being said he needs to be on a team where he doesn't have to be the best hitter.

    Dunn is underrated, if anything. How long until people see past strikeouts?

    Yes, strikeouts are not important if a guy has .455 OBP. Who gives a shit about "productive outs."

    Sometimes there are team options, sometimes there are player options, sometimes like with this contract, there's neither.

    Carl Pavano, Kevin Brown, and a bunch of other guys are thankful for that.

    They sign huge contracts and then suck and/or get injured. So predictable.

    I'm sure like every other hitter in the league his numbers are better with men on base.

    But please tell me how that is proof of anything? Dunn cannot control what the situation is when he hits home runs. What you just described is exactly the reason RBI is an overrated individual stat.

    i just caught this thread. i'll throw my .02 in. Dunn is overrated IMO and ridiculously overpaid. Now about him hitting HR's to RBI's and when runners are in scoring position and etc. Like someone mentioned he can't control when people in front of him get on base, and when people are on base he is less likely to see a good pitch and probably chases too much trying to bring the house down, when no one is on base he probably does get better pitches to look at.

    now about A.J., being a Braves fan i got to defend him , just a little. yes, he has went to shit since he went to LAD, but he has had injuries and yes the Dodgers were stupid to give that much to someone at the downside of their peak in their career. He put up great numbers in ATL and was a gold glove center fielder, he was always getting guys out, making spectacular catches and throws. He was a clutch hitter, good base stealer. his across the board stats for his years in ATL could rival any top player for that span.
