Jake Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 13, 2012 -> 09:03 AM) Dunns good times were pretty much tied to Konerkos. Dunn started to fall off as soon as Konerko's wrist became an issue. It helped him tremendously to make pitchers HAVE to pitch to him, especially making them fear walking him. Walking him now is not a problem because PK is a human DP machine. Taking away the fear of the walk just increases the pitcher's boldness in throwing borderline pitches to get outs.

Rios has hit into more double plays this year than Konerko Dunn's walk rate is way down since the ASB. His .340 OPS in August has no business still batting 3rd in the Sox lineup.
