I know that Dunn is a bad average guy, but he is hitting below .150 this spring. Is there an injury issue, or anything to worry about?

 

[jafo]

He will be fine.

 

[shadyridr]

Spring training is no reason to worry about veteran players.

 

[Wrigley]

Dunn will be fine.

I'd worry more about him getting traded away from the GAB at the deadline. He's in his walk year.

Good point. I was just checking to see if there was an injury I was unaware of. By next week at this time he will be back up to .235 where he belongs.

Don't worry, he'll back to hitting .250 with 175Ks in no time

Adam Dunn will strikeout 5 times before I finish writing this post.

And because of those two stats, he'll remain one of the most underrated players in the majors.

The biggest worry you should have with Adam Dunn is Dusty Baker.

You mean the 2-time MVP?

He also walked 4 times before you finished writing that post.

Dusty is tough on bullpens, has been known to abuse starting pitchers on occasion and is sometimes inexplicably loyal to non-productive role players, but I don't see how he's going to hurt Dunn's production. I know Baker talked about aggressiveness during spring training but Dunn still has the bat in his hands when he's up. He'll get his three true outcomes regardless what Dusty says.

Let's hope. But with Dusty chirping about being more aggressive and "hacking" more so he doesn't "clog up the bases" -- those things could take a toll.

WARP-3 (adjusted for era)Dale Murphy, ages 22-27: 33.3

Adam Dunn, ages 22-27: 36.0

Actually, a decent comparison. Dunn's been a bit better due to consistency, but Murphy had two better years than Dunn in there.

And yes, WARP is a flawed system. Better than a lot of those out there, and it includes Dunn's terrible fielding, which needs to be accounted for.

6 walks in 25 PAs so far. So much for Dusty's aggressiveness schtick.

only 3 hits though

 

[Tony Danza]

He's got 3 coming up against the Brewers. Fans in the bleacher seats should bring their gloves.

 

[MAC_32]

Dunn's historically bad against Dave Bush, 3/15, 7 K, 3 BB, 0 HR, 1 2B, 1 SB. Don't expect a great outing from him that night.

 

[meeka]

Still waiting. Now he is batting 7th.

Look at thr bright side: you didin't draft him for his defensive prowess.
