Jordan4life_2007 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 I'm stoked! And a little drunk. So bear with me. I've loved this guy since '03. He's one of those guys that you know will K a lot, but when he connects? Good god! It's like we're getting the '06 version of Jim Thome for the next 4 years. Thank you, Kenny/Jerry!

I love the move but Adam Dunn wishes he was the hitter Thome was in 06. He has never had a season at the plate of that caliber. But hopefully fans appreciate him more than they did Thome. It is sad that Thome doesn't get more credit for being productive as he was with the Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is sad that Thome doesn't get more credit for being productive as he was with the Sox. I wouldn't sell him short. Especially if Ozzie is smart and uses him as the full time DH in our ballpark. But a .900+ OPS is a virtual certainty. I love this signing. Edited December 3, 2010 by Jordan4life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitoMB345 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 "No, Dunn is a game-changer, as close to a sure thing as there is. At 31, he's in his prime. He's missed just 26 games since 2003. Since 2004, the man has played in more games than any other major-leaguer this side of Seattle's Ichiro Suzuki. " Hell f***ing yes! I had no idea Dunn was this reliable. 26 games in 7 seasons?! Wow! Less than 4 games a year he misses! This signing is AMAZING! I f***ING LOVE YOU KENNY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Think about this: If the Sox re-sign Konerko, their 3-4-5 combo of Rios, Dunn, and Konerko could give us 90+ HRs and 270+ RBIs. Talk about potent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Some 1st baseman in St. Louis is the only player in the majors with more homers than Adam Dunn since 2004. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is sad that Thome doesn't get more credit for being productive as he was with the Sox. FWIW, Thome wasn't as good of a hitter (BA wise) when he was in the NL East but was pretty damn good in the AL for most of his career. Hopefully it's not just optimism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
