Compared to our offensive players, it's not even close.  Dunn is significantly better than any offensive producer on the Sox.

 

But, but, but he strikes out a lot!

 

He's #20 in all of baseball in VORP. The closest White Sox is #86 at Paul Konerko.

Oye ve.  You're the one who hates it when any player pulls the ball and this team tries hitting to many homers and you want Adam Dunn??

 

That's SSI with the pull hard-on. The difference with Dunn trying to hit homers compared to a lot of the Sox guys is that if he gets a hold of it, the ball is gone. It's different than when AJP or Uribe are trying to hit homers all the time. I can't believe there are some that don't think Dunn is a great offensive player.

Say what?  Yes, that's me venting.  Is that allowed?  I'm not trying to be a smartass.  I really want to know if venting should not be made in this gt.

 

Fathom ... go ahead and vent. It's a message board.

 

But then don't get bent out of shape when someone says you constantly vent, ok?

 

It goes both ways, not just your way.

Ha, so everyone's abandoned talking about the game?

No way. This game's far from over. We're going to score a good amount of runs this game. Dunn's a good topic of discussion though.

Fair enough. I don't recall ever telling anyone I don't vent. If anyone ever told me that no venting is allowed on soxtalk, then I wouldn't do it.

Agree, the failure in the 3rd inning was bad.  He made some good pitches but both Everett and Konerko weren't ready for those 1st pitch cookies.  Attack when a strike is thrown.

 

All year long...PK takes WAAAAAAAAAY too many meatballs right over the plate for first pitch strikes. Goddamn I hate that!

Yet he's batting .246. If Dunn were on this team he'd get the Paul Konerko treatment.

Dunn's a good topic of discussion though.

 

This board would be all over Adam Dunn's ass. First of all he won't be coming here so forget it IMO.

 

Second, he strikes out about 1 time in every three at bats and has the tendancy to swing for HR's, hence the low rbi total despite the high HR total.

 

The grass is always greener is guess, especially in the game threads.

Rowand has as many clutch hits as anyone on the Sox this season.
