The Ultimate Champion Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 QUOTE (Charlie Haeger's Knuckles @ Aug 31, 2014 -> 10:20 AM) I doubt Adam Dunn cares that you don't "appreciate" him. I doubt Adam Dunn cares that you think he doesn't care that I don't appreciate him. I doubt Adam Dunn even cares about baseball a good amount of the time. Oakland is going to get a guy for the stretch whose mind is already on the golf course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshPR Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Really? Is this necessary? Sure I he'd done better and his AB's were frustrating, but this is just silly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes me happy and positive. You're a sadist. The only thing that would make you happy and positive would be if Oakland pulled out of the deal last minute and we ended up stuck with the guy for the rest of the season.

GreenSox Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 He was a poor signing, but he didn't sign himself. He tried and seemed like a good guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunn sucked, your posts suck I assume but he was negative so there's that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Aug 31, 2014 -> 10:00 AM) Clearly you people have issues following instructions., This thread is for NEGATIVITY only! This guy was horrible, and the Sox were too cheap to ditch him earlier. I have to admit though, I can see why people are wanting to be positive. I too am very happy this guy is about to be gone. I really want to be negative but the hate isn't spewing out, just joy over this guy finally getting the f*** off of this team and out of this city. Every day for this team is going to be a brighter one now. And Beckham's gone too. Phew. Wait, so we are invading your thread and making multiple posts about how much we appreciate Dunn, and you don't like it? Oh the irony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Aug 31, 2014 -> 10:30 AM) Oh come on now this is ridiculous. Your typical Adam Dunn slump (lasting weeks) was characterised by loafing and he spent 1 of his 4 years here doing nothing BUT loaf. Haha, I said butt loaf. Walking back to the dugout after fanning is not loafing, except in Little League. And speaking of Little League the Sox honored the JRW team last night. They gave them all White Sox backpacks with school supplies, a White Sox jersey with their number on it signed by the entire team, and introduced them one by one having them run around the bases with the White Sox lined up on the 3rd base line giving them all high fives. That had to be awesome for an 11-13 year old kid. Edited August 31, 2014 by Dick Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2nd_city_saint787 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I'm gonna miss the big guy. I think guys like him have a place in a good offense. Oakland has or had the top ranked offense and they had 2 guys who were Dunn-esque in their lineup and now it likes like they're adding Dunn. If push came to shove and the Sox miss out on other DH candidates I'd welcome him back with open arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ultimate Champion Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 This is like an Amway convention in here with all the fake positivity crap. Good God. No, he's not coming back, and no, we don't want him. We wanted him for about 5 months or so after he signed his contract and we've been wanting to ditch him since. It's like if your home was invaded by rats, you finally got rid of them, but then you find yourself kind of missing all the funny things they used to do more than you appreciate the experience of living in first world health conditions. Just let the guy go, he's terrible, good riddance, and Oakland just got worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ultimate Champion Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 Also nice to see we got a potential RP prospect. It's a good thing we held onto this guy so long, no way we'd have gotten a haul like this in ST or last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxfest Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) I wish Dunn good luck...........he was not a bad guy. I can see him going on a HR binge rest of the way. Edited August 31, 2014 by Soxfest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good thing we held onto this guy so long, no way we'd have gotten a haul like this in ST or last year. Reading up on this guy, at least when he was drafted a couple of years ago, he wasn't a bad prospect. I think he was ranked 12th coming into this season for Oakland. Does look like he is already a reliever, so who knows, but this is definitely a better prospect than the garbage that usually gets acquired in these types of trades.

There will just be someone else behind him now that the pitchers will go around Abreu to get to. Put Moist Sierria behind him, I bet he'd like that idea better anyway.

2nd_city_saint787 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Why would a playoff team want him for the stretch run and give up one of their 10-12 best prospect, if he sucked and isn't good enough to be on a winning team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we've pretty much gotten every penny out of Dunn's "value" and same with DeAza. The difference IMO is we could have gotten this out of a Dunn a long time ago. Oh well, the playing time is all that matters, and now the last month of White Sox baseball is infinitely more watchable. Hopefully one of the AAA guys will perform & give the Sox something more to think about while they are in their organizational meetings this year. Hahn still has a lot of work to do.
