OT: Did Adam Dunn ruin his Hall chances

[Runscott]

David, I'm one of the guys who said he isn't HOF-worthy. I was just surprised at the personal shots you took at the guy. Personality and likability are good traits to have, even if you aren't a HOF-calibre baseball player. If Dunn was Albert Bell-like, this thread wouldn't even exist.

Is this thread going to turn into a daily report on Adam Dunn's most recent game? He could bat 1.000 for the rest of the year and it wouldn't change my opinion -- great power, an unusually poor hitter for someone with that much power, walked a lot so it's not quite as bad as it looks from BA alone, weak in other aspects of the game, not even close to HOF caliber.

+1...I agree Peter, the idea of Dunn as a HOFer is almost laughable IMO...

If he DOES bat 1.000 the rest of the year, suffice it to say, I will try to be open-minded.
