Good enough to earn him 187+ Million bucks over the course of his career though.
Adam Dunn at least walked a lot and had a very respectable OBP for most of his career. He's Lou Gehrig compared to some of the other names that have been bandied about.
Dunn's overall analytics are mostly killed by his apparently horrible defensive prowess. I never saw him play enough to be able to corroborate how bad he was from an eye test, or whether he got trashed just because he was a 1st baseman and a corner outfielder.
