daa84 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 if a drop of .320 points in OPS doesn't motivate you to get in shape, I dont know what will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JorgeFabregas Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 (edited) For comparison's sake, this is what he looked like on September 27 and on White Sox photo day exactly one year ago: Edited February 26, 2012 by JorgeFabregas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DashFan Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Glad to see Dunn stepped up his off-season workouts. It's one thing to be expected to do so, it's another thing to work hard enough to get those kinds of results in a matter of months. Hope it translates into his best season yet!

Swingandalongonetoleft Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I heard about this. Towards the beginning of June when it was dawning on management that this was going to be one of those days (seasons), Walker began crafting a last resort plan- not to save the season, but to save JOBS (his, Kenny's, Adam's, and so on). After many nights with a bottle of Jack and inexplicable bouts of laughter that came from no where, the best he could do was the "trick the opposition into thinking that Adam Dunn is Chris Sale". Realistically, 2012 season was the earliest we would see this plan in effect. Walker, unfortunately, did not make it. Another problem is that MLB pitchers were treated to a full year of watching Adam Dunn get straight up beaten by every pitch thrown at him, so the opposition would probably be more careful/throw closer to 100% if they thought it was Chris instead of Adam. We all remember those times that the catcher was already in the act of throwing the ball back to the pitcher before Adam swung. No one really talked about it because it was unpleasant to think about/hearken back to. Sometimes umpires pretended that he was just taking a practice cut before the next pitch. Everyone in the park knew better, no one (not even opposing battery) said anything about it. Walker's pllan straight up backfired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max power Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I thought he looked in better shape when I saw that 1 minute interview in the other thread. But I figured if he was this much thinner it would have been reported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 But Dunn, it ain't a contract year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Dunn tried to act like he hasn't done anything different. ...and I respect that. He doesn't want to draw attention to himself with a bunch of fluff pieces. He just wants to play better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 How much weight did he actually lose? I wouldn't doubt it was the 30 pounds originally rumored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sin city sox fan Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Dunno should have a lot more speed with his new physique. Perhaps he's a candidate to bat leadoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillian Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) I'd be shocked if he hasn't lost almost twice the 30 lbs. suggested in this thread. He's a huge guy, and was considerably overweight. 50 - 60 pounds is not that much for a guy his size. That photo reveals a svelt physique, more than 30 pounds leaner than the obese Adam Dunn of 2011.
