WBWSF Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Looking back at Dunns time with the White Sox has never been explained. Was he hurt? Did he lose his desire to play after signing a big long term contract? Didn't he like playing for the White Sox? Dunn was the first big free agent signing since Albert Belle. He didn't produce here. Nobody has ever figured it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody has ever figured it out. What is there to figure out. It was a bad signing. Dunn got old and heavy and then he got overpaid by KW.

Jose Abreu Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Aside from 2011, he was quite underrated. Had a high OBP and hit home runs. That's what we signed him to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Dioner Navarro was pretty bad too. I may start a thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also remembering hearing that his kid was having some health problems too. He just didn't make it well known because that's not his style.

Jerksticks Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 Lol. Well if Dunn follows Soxtalk he needs to be reminded that he was pretty bad and he should personally contribute $20M to sign Luis Robert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Sox Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) Useless/stupid trivia question to keep this timely thread alive...Adam Dunn had a bit part in the in the movie Dallas Buyers Club. Anyone remember who was the last Sox player to appear in a major Hollywood movie prior to that? (Or at least the last one I can remember?)

"Mr Baseball" He played the "big time prospect" that the Yankees wanted to call up, so they released Tom Selleck's character, so he went to Japan to play.

Anyone remember who was the last Sox player to appear in a major Hollywood movie prior to that? (Or at least the last one I can remember?) I can name two. A Kurt Russell movie called Dreamer ends with a racetrack scene, and in line to place a bet is Dick Allen. Not surprisingly, he looked comfortable there. In the '80's, Charley Lau had a significant part in Max Dugan Returns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
