I guess we can afford to give a couple but not ALL.

cinredsfan2000 · 02-15-2006, 08:29 PM

Dunn to min. Oh my would that cost you dearly.

molarmite · 02-15-2006, 08:29 PM

We can do better than Dunn, he strikes out too much.

cinredsfan2000 · 02-15-2006, 08:31 PM

Yeah but when he hit's the ball it go real farrrrrrrrrrrrrr

molarmite · 02-15-2006, 08:32 PM

Not as far as Barry Bonds.

.Im sure dunn could put baseball's into the bay in san fran.

molarmite · 02-15-2006, 08:39 PM

Well what are the odds that Dunn actually makes contact?

UngratefulDead · 02-15-2006, 08:41 PM

I can vouch that Dunn can indeed put baseballs into the Bay.

molarmite · 02-15-2006, 08:42 PM

I bet he can. But long balls aren't everything.

What does it matter how he makes an out? What makes a strikeout worse than a pop fly?

Sorry im not a stats geek but im sure somebody could post dunn's k's to h.r. ratio. Granted i know there pretty ugly but dunn has a tendency to be a little to patient at the plate .

If you hit a pop fly and make contact you have a better chance you getting in a gap or having a fielder make an error and if you strikeout there's not much chance of you getting on base. Every once in a while the catcher will drop it but not too often.

Except Adam Dunn gets on base more often than most players. So what's the problem?

Is there statistical evidence to back this up?

Adam Dunn's 2005 OBP: .387
NL average OBP in 2005: .326

So, uh, yeah.

molarmite · 02-15-2006, 08:53 PM

How does he compare with other good players, such as the all-stars?

UngratefulDead · 02-15-2006, 08:56 PM

All-star invites are a pretty crappy way of judging how good a player is, but Dunn's OBP was higher than Carlos Beltran, Miguel Cabrera, Jim Edmonds, Luis Gonzalez, Andruw Jones, and Carlos Lee, six of the nine NL All-Star outfielders.
