LittleHurt05 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ May 11, 2012 -> 01:39 PM) Interesting thought, Id still give Dayan a couple more weeks/a month to get it goin. Itd be a shame if he can't get it goin and they have to give up on him. If they're still contending though(I still believe they can still contend with a struggling Dayan) thats certainly one way to rev up the offense. Who do they DH though? Dan Johnson? Tyler Flowers and call up Phegley? I think they were referring to the games at Wrigley next weekend, where there is no DH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this. Last year nobody cared because Dunn sucked. Now it is a big loss in the middle of the line up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it is a big loss in the middle of the line up. Might as well give him a few token innings or something out there now so it isn't a complete shock to the system.

Why risk injury by giving him more innings than needed? Unnecessary innings do not help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnecessary innings do not help. Ugh this notion has always bothered me. 2-3 innings in the field is not going to put someone at a much greater risk of injury.

Soxic Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Adam Dunn on doorstep of history On September 23rd 2011, against the Royals. Adam Dunn batted 3 times and didn't strike out. That was the last game that Adam Dunn didn't record a strike out. Dunn is sitting on 36 consecutive games with a strikeout. The record is 37 consecutive games with a recorded strike-out held by Bill Stoneman, a pitcher. This season Adam Dunn had already broke the record for consecutive strikeouts since the start of the season. Which was 15. Dunn this year has already recorded a strikeout in each of this year's games. He is currently on game 32. 32 consecutive games since opening day with a strikeout. A MLB record....and still counting. But with Adam Dunn's production this season....sign me up. Adam Dunn currently has the highest OBS+Slugging that he has ever had in his career. And when he does strikeout he at least sees a mess of pitches. The man is a hard out. Oh, by the way....I'm new here. So, HI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think running around the outfield presents a significant injury risk. The injury risk is so miniscule that I think there is more to gain by allowing him to sharpen his game there during blowouts, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunofgold Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Dunn is great now. We have solid 3-4 punch Our offense is decent with the ascent of Dunn. 50 hr season this year is not a dream but a possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I'd definitely play Dunn over Viciedo in left during the Cub series in Wrigley. Can you imagine the bombs he is going to hit if the wind is blowing out? Did he hit any monumental shots in Wrigley as a Red?? Surely this year's skinnier version of Dunn can handle LF. Dayan isn't doing squat yet. DUNN FOR LF IN THAT SERIES! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly he'd hit at least one monster bomb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
