Should Dunn be moved down in the batting order?
Or would he perform as poorly? One thing I know, having such a millstone in the middle of the batting order is doing a number on the offense.

He should hit second.
Hatteberg, with his ability to get on base, would fit in anywhere in the lineup.

Re: Should Dunn be moved down in the batting order?
I agree. Dunn was lighting it up hitting 2nd. I don't know if that would change anything now, but we should at least give it a shot.

I say mix him in down at 7 or 8. Take some pressure and expectations off. We know he doesn't repond well to pressure base on his avg with RISP. He might pull out of this downturn in his year if he were in a more laid-back place in the lineup.

I've been in favor of switching Dunn and Hatt in the batting order since the new "everyday" lineup was first used.

If Dunns going to hit 8th then we should see his walks increase as other teams will give him nothing to hit so they can pitch to the pitcher.

How about they move Griffey out of the 3 hole before we worry about Dunn hitting #5?

Adam Dunn 2006- 2 slot: .333 BA/.433 OBP/.627 SLG- 1.060 OPS The guy has also posted a .409 OBP/.648 SLG- 1.025 OPS w/RISP. Yeah, no "good at-bats" and just crumbles with RISP. Sure. Good one.

Dunn should be moved back up to #2 in the order. He was lighting it up from the #2 spot.

Wow. Top notch stuff there. And yes, when you say things like Dunn "doesn't respond well to pressure" when his performance says otherwise you need to be corrected. You want to avoid being challenged, then be more accurate.

Are you calling Steel out? That's so cute. Maybe you should challenge him to a drag race at the old quarry? That'll show him. Plus then you'd finally get to make the grade with Becky. She's the tops.
