From the time that the approach changed back to normal and he scrapped his new style he is at the following:

.261/414 OBP/ 1.109 OPS 3 HRs

Is that a sample size? yep. But since so many of you Dunn haters like to use sample size as well and talk about BA 2 weeks into a season I figured i throw it right back at ya. chew on this sample size joe.

The facts are Dunn has not played to his contract in any season. 2012 looked good because in 2011 Dunn was the worst batter in the history of the game.
Dunn's OPS for 2011 and 2012 are the two worst of his career. His 2012 season was the worst 40+ HR season as posted in a previously closed thread.

This season he's been like a coin giving us a solid heads the past 8 games, and a tails prior to this.

Adam Dunn was signed to be Adam Dunn. He has yet to be that.

I really hope he can keep up most of what he's done the past 8 games. He'd be worth it for the season. However, his history says otherwise with us. And that steps on many of you here, but no one said the truth would be easy.

Dunn's success now means nothing to me except for increased trade value. This team is heading in the wrong direction and Rick Hahn knows it.

The problem is with $25 million still owed him for two years, I don't think we get anything of value unless we eat a ton of dough.

I don't recall Jerry being an owner that does that.

true, I dont remember an instance where we ate money in a deal for a prospect, however Jerry has been convinced to increase salray before so I'm assuming he could be convinced to eat some salary in the right move

But Jerry usually does that to win now. If we can't right that ship ultra fast, I gotta see Jerry cutting payroll, not increasing it, even for a spec.

but if he would have struck out in that at bat you would be making comments about it...being "meaningless" lol

Dunn has loads of meaningful at bats he does nothing with.

you are baseball clueless.

Yep, when I got nothing to show a person wrong, I understand going to attacks. What is Dunn at again? I know, there is nothing that shows he's awful.

let's see some facts.
Last 7 games: 208/367/333/700
Season:151/250/340/590
Career prior to CWS: 250/381/521/902
Career including Sox: 238/368/497/865 < ---- and continually dropping, never hitting any of these now lower career numbers as a White Sox. But I agree, clueless is the rebuttal to the facts.

you arent helping by posting those numbers, you are only furthering my arguement. so thanks! you do know that the 2011 season kinda skewed the " white sox" career stats in a sample size career stat with one specific team right? lol you make me laugh atleast.

You do realize that throwing 2011 out he hasn't hit any career averages or even come close right? Can you even make any type of argument for Dunn at this point?
