If he were more aggressive he would strike out more and walk less, no thanks
Dunn is a fine player now, one of the best around..we're lucky to have him on our fav team.

See: Dunn, Adam-2003
BTW, I have a very strong feeling that Dunn's going to have a monster set of "hot months" (June, July, and August); I say this because he typically does--fancy that.
“And when finally they sense that some position cannot be sustained, they do not re-examine their ideas. Instead, they simply change the subject.” Jamie Galbraith
I disagree completely. From my point of view Dunn's biggest problem is that he swings and misses too much. I just don't see how swinging more is going to help that. IMO he needs to work on making better contact when he does choose to swing. If he does that, then his numbers will surely go up, without the risk of his OBP going down, which is such a huge part of his game.
School's out. What did you expect?
Dunn's "job" is the exact same job every other hitter has. Help his team create runs.
Mmmmm... it is a little bit more than that. They do put em in order (at least in the NL) for a reason.

Adam Dunn or Da Bears?
Da Bears, by 140 -- but only if Ditka puts in the backups at the end.
Cincinnati Reds: Farm System Champions 2022
it was an example. just like up with risp etc, i dont have the numbers, but just based on my bad memory, he isnt good at being a clutch hitter
like he said, his obp isnt completely do to his discipline. its do to pitchers pitching around him. WATCH THE PLAYERS PLAY. dont just read stats on epsn.com. he takes WAY too many pitches he could hit and WAY to many 3rd strikes.
Gosh, why ever would pitchers pitch around Adam Dunn....hmmmmm?
Let's review the numbers from the last 2 years. Do you REALLY want this guy to change his approach at the plate?
G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO SBCS AVG OBP SLG OPS
2004 Cin 161 568 105 151 34 0 46 102 108 195 6 1 .266 .388 .569 .957
2005 Cin 160 543 107 134 35 2 40 101 114 168 4 2 .247 .387 .540 .927
More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that's not only better, but also more directly involves me.
Actually, there is no more to it then that. Batting order matters MUCH less then who is actually IN the lineup.
Adam Dunn and Ryan Freel have the exact same job. Create runs. They may do it in different ways, but they have the same job.
ill try to do for past years when i have time, but so far this year.
dunn is 22nd in obp. of the 21 ahead of him.....
....10 had more than 32rbi's
....2 tied him with 32rbi's - dunn would be right in the middle
....9 had less than 32 rbi's
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but more than that, i want him to learn what the word DEDICATION and the word WORK ETHIC mean.
