Chris Davis had a very strange career from an analytics perspective. His career WAR is less then his two best years combined.

Meaning, for two years he was a Superstar....and the rest of his career he was less then a replacement level player. Way less.

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.

Dunn's offensive skill set would be absolutely perfect for this era. Had he played in the AL during his tenure in the league, he would've been a DH. While his strikeout numbers were certainly gaudy, no one could deny his power production.

I was always disappointed that he flamed out so early. Was really hoping he would put up power numbers, long enough to hit 600 Homers, despite having a batting average lower than .240

I started a separate 'air-cooled' thread for those who swish for pay.

Yesterday Trout, Renfroe and Moniak went 13 for 13 in a 28 hit nail-biter.

Trout, Drury and Thais also hit three consecutive home runs on three consecutive pitches.

I keep seeing more high-average hitters I'm having to add to my '.400 attempt list'.

Gonna confirm Tony Fernandez's 1999 season.
