Junior

What is wrong with him? Ive never seen him look this bad. Im a little worried about him. Even when he slumps he occasionally has good AB's. I havent seen him hit the ball hard since the break except that one game. Hopefully he snaps out of it soon because there isnt much else to watch.

Re: Junior

I love how this is a "What's wrong with Junior" thread. If it was Dunn it would be an "I told you so" or "Trade him he sucks" thread.

Re: Junior

I'm not sure, but when was his last day off? He tends to get this way during extended stretches without rest days. Especially these past few years.

Pretty sure he had Saturday off and the whole team had Monday off.

The difference is that dunn slumps like this more often. This is odd for griffey. This thread was not meant to bash anyone.

I love how some people have to make everything about Dunn all the time, not a single negative thing was said in this thread about anyone till you came along....

I was the first person to respond to the thread but whatever. I'm tired of Dunn getting the criticism when Junior is worse and makes more money. It's completely unfair how the two are treated differently. Because Junior USE to be great he can no longer produce and still avoid criticism.
