Actually my guess is you prefer the stat sheets or fantasy games to actually WATCHING the games. Myself, I WATCHED 99% of the Reds games on the Extra Innings package (120, 130??) and listened to most of the others.
So yes, I watched with my own eyes WMP making conscious efforts to use the whole field and doing so successfully.

You watched all those games and you still came up with all this crazy stuff?!?!?!

Did you see with your own eyes that WMP struck out more times per plate appearance than Dunn did?

He's not going to be a free agent. It's arbitration, and players are always playing for raises, it's kinda how professional sports work.

A couch potato, armchair GM, coach and manager. A self-proclaimed expert.
Now I understand.
right.....(sigh).............
he'll be signing a new contract - "contract year" is close enough for me.
what ever you say stat rat
You seem to sigh a lot, DunnHater.

ah...the old "per plate appearance"......rather than "at bat"....
of course, those invaluable walks to pass a clutch rbi situation on to LaRue or Bragg or who knows who else must be factored in.
How would you respond to a guy saying you are wrong for calling this year a "contract year" for Dunn?
Right. Because great hitters swing at Balls.of course, those invaluable walks to pass a clutch rbi situation on to LaRue or Bragg or who knows who else must be factored in.
Build your bridge yet?

A contract year implies Dunn is playing for a contract offer from multiple teams. He isn't. He's Reds property. period.
So you don't know the terminolgy.
It's about getting on base, and not making outs. Add to that Dunn's prolific power and incredible SLG and what you have is A HOF player in the making.
Don't hand us any garbage about rbi's. guys have to be on for him to jack one, and it certainly isn't his fault he had no credible protection in the lineup with Jr. and AK hurt most of the year.
You walked into Redszone. This is without a doubt the most intelligent fanzone on the internet. Don't bring the BA, RBI arguement here, it's got no weight. But if it makes you feel better, After Boone left, Dunn's BA jumped 50 points.
Dubito Ergo Cogito Ergo Sum.
