Sox still trying to trade Dunn?

Ok I see now. Well then in this context Dunn would be the 8th washing machine & it's constantly regurgitating detergent back onto the customers. Of course, this defective 8th washing machine might be quite a big hit at a rave party where the idea *is* to be bombarded with soapiness and bubbles, so maybe you send both this 8th washing machine and Dunn to said nightclub and the machine can pump out bubbles while Dunn's donkey ass can hand out bracelets at the door.

 

He was 1st on our team in homers, RBI's, SLG, BB%, and wOBA. He led most of those categories by a very large margin. I am not arguing he is worth his contract or even good for this team but he was not "defective."

No, you still aren't following. In this instance, Dunn would be a dryer, which has nothing to do with washing machines at all. The washing machines represent the starting rotation while dryers would represent the hitters. The 8th washing machine is Ubaldo Jimenez.

 

In this instance, Dunn would be a dryer whose high heat cycle is too hot, the low heat cycle is too cold, and it constantly jams with lint, but it still works and someone might give you $30 for it, which is better than kicking a $150 machine out to the curb and getting nothing back.

These washing machines are a damn ripoff. 1.25 for one load? who even carries quarters anymore?!

Well the best one has a dollar bill slot as well as a card swiper.

 

The last, 7th one only takes dimes, nickels, and fifty cent pieces.

Not that how he performs changes this argument in hindsight, I hope Dunn goes .250/.350/.520 next year.

 

+1

It would be like running a dryer that has higher resell value (Viciedo or De Aza) thus lowering its value (wear and tear) and not using the Dunn dryer to preserve its miniscule resell value because the Dunn dryer cost you way more to begin with and you don't want to look like a total dumbass.

It would be like having a thread that everyone hated, and wouldn't die, and not closing it.

Of course, this is all subjective, and forcing those guys to DH actually hurts their value since their value comes not from their bat, but from their ability to play LF at a respectable level.
