there are several (paid) sites that has all the fielding range for players like bill james etc...dunn is terrible defensively but he's a good batsman at major league baseball. give me a bunch of guys that hit home runs, have OBP/OPS around .400/.900 over scrappiness of sucktitude like ryan theriot, david eckstein, and juan pierre any day. |

Yes Bob, Dunn can go to the Hall. 363 days a year, if he buys an admittance ticket. |

you keep saying that phrase, but I don't recall if you've ever expanded on the reasons for the negative opinions...just curious |

But the high water mark on home runs continues to be 500 HRs........even in the juice inflicted times we live in. He has 262 HRs @ 28 years old. Odds are very favorable he'll hit upwards of 600, so what do you do? At .247 lifetime batting average. |

not saying dunn is on track for a hof'er...but he's much better than dave kingman. kingman had a career .302 on base percentage. dunn's obp is at .381, he walks alot to compensate for his low batting average and slugs/ops about 100 points better than kingman. |

Dunn is a servicable power guy. Probably would be served well with a move to an American League team. I can see how he would be frustrating to be a fan of in the role he's in. Guys like him tend to make their career off of weak pitching and disappear when the pitching quality goes up. |

In regards to Adam Dunn...he broke some crazy record concerning consecutive plate appearances with a runner on third and less than two outs...he went something like 150 consectuive plate appearances like that without a sac fly. Now that is NOT a good ballplayer. |

Dunn's #'s look a lot like those of a "no-brainer" HOFer Reggie Jackson. |

Reggie was a much better player than Dunn and a legit hall of famer. Reggie suffered from the double whammy of playing in a terrible hitters era as well as playing in one of the worst hitters parks in baseball for much of his career. When he was young he was an outstanding baserunner and a pretty good outfielder w/a strong arm. He was also one of the smarter players around. |

Want a real defining stat that shows how bad Adam Dunn is? In 2006 when he had 40 homeruns and struck out 194 times, this is the list of guys who had LESS home runs, and more RBIs. Kind of a long list... |

joanne the amount of runs and rbi's you have is totally dependent on others around you...if they're getting on base ahead u, how they're hitting behind you etc. batting average, runs, rbi's are nice to look at, but it's an archaic way of measuring a player's worth. dunn was batting lead off for a stretch of time, so this could've been a cause of that. |

I don't know..but it was actually a total of 1,085 plate appearances without a sac fly. I'm sure there were RBI singles or home runs or walks or HBP or whatever...but still...that's pretty bad. |
