Re: Get rid of Adam Dunn while is value is high

I think one reason Dunn's name gets brought up so much is that he isn't like other players and that makes people uncomfortable.
Which brings to mind that "True Outcomes" article someone posted a few months back. IIRC, basically, when Adam comes up to bat, the fielders become pretty irrelevant -- his rate of HR, Walks, and Ks (the "true outcomes") are historic.
