169 Ks swinging (including foul tips) 53 Ks called 105 walks (3 intentional) But I'm starting to wonder if 2012 was an aberration for Dunn in the AL, rather than 2011... |

Stats are only meaningful in an argument if you are using them to argue something that you can see is true. If you are using stats to argue something that you can see is clearly untrue, if you are using to argue that Dunn was a good offensive player last season, all you are proving is that statistics can lie. If you say Dunn's numbers really weren't so bad last year, you weren't paying attention to the game and were looking at the wrong numbers because there are plenty of numbers that will tell you he was a bad offensive player last season. |

Stats are unbiased. Your eyes (seemingly especially your eyes) are most certainly biased. |

Which is why you use statistics to confirm what you believe your eyes are seeing. TDog is saying that watching last season's game gave him the impression that Dunn wasn't playing well, and his numbers supported that assessment.

Was Bobby Bonds a free agent? Either way I detested him and hated it when the Sox got him.

I voted Dunn over Navarro. I only had to put up with Navarro every fifth day. Dante would have written about another level of Hell had he watched Dunn play on a daily basis. When I played pick up games as a kid, there was always one kid that was an automatic out. Dunn reminds me of that kid.

Got him in a trade from the Angels for Brian Downing and a couple of pitchers in December of 1977. We also picked up Richard Dotson and Thad Bosley in that trade. Bonds was gone by the end of June of 1978.

Bonds was gone by May. The Sox started so poorly Veeck realized there was no way in hell he was going to re-sign him. Only played in 26 games with the Sox. Lip |

That's the bean counter method that has stifled or buried countless businesses. Besides no one agrees on what the numbers mean anymore. It was argued here that the great increase in HRs during the "steroid era" was due to the ball and not any chemical help. I prefer my own evaluations over anybody's new dogma.

For a day you could dream that there would be a carry over from the previous year. It didn't happen. They were awful the next three years.
