May 3, 20178 yr Looking back at Dunns time with the White Sox has never been explained. Was he hurt? Did he lose his desire to play after signing a big long term contract? Didn't he like playing for the White Sox? Dunn was the first big free agent signing since Albert Belle. He didn't produce here. Nobody has ever figured it out.

Nobody has ever figured it out. What is there to figure out. It was a bad signing. Dunn got old and heavy and then he got overpaid by KW.
May 3, 20178 yr QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 3, 2017 -> 03:00 AM) This could possibly be the worst thread in Soxtalk history At least the title was a fact. Otherwise, it would be the worst post I have ever seen
May 3, 20178 yr Aside from 2011, he was quite underrated. Had a high OBP and hit home runs. That's what we signed him to do.
May 3, 20178 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 3, 2017 -> 08:14 AM) Dioner Navarro was pretty bad too. I may start a thread. Can I start one about Jeff Keppinger?

Nobody has ever figured it out. Take away his 2011 stats and he was actually good for the Sox.

May 3, 20178 yr QUOTE (SoxAce @ May 3, 2017 -> 08:28 AM) His appendix was taken out. I also remembering hearing that his kid was having some health problems too. He just didn't make it well known because that's not his style. Edited May 3, 20178 yr by lasttriptotulsa
May 3, 20178 yr Author Lol. Well if Dunn follows Soxtalk he needs to be reminded that he was pretty bad and he should personally contribute $20M to sign Luis Robert.

May 3, 20178 yr Useless/stupid trivia question to keep this timely thread alive...Adam Dunn had a bit part in the in the movie Dallas Buyers Club. Anyone remember who was the last Sox player to appear in a major Hollywood movie prior to that? (Or at least the last one I can remember?) Edited May 3, 20178 yr by Dizzy Sox

Anyone remember who was the last Sox player to appear in a major Hollywood movie prior to that? (Or at least the last one I can remember?) Frank Thomas, 1992.... "Mr Baseball" He played the "big time prospect" that the Yankees wanted to call up, so they released Tom Selleck's character, so he went to Japan to play. Not a bad movie if you can ignore the often cringeworthy "love story" undercurrent.
May 3, 20178 yr Well this thread came outta nowhere. Didn't realize fans were still suffering from post traumatic Dunn syndrome.

Anyone remember who was the last Sox player to appear in a major Hollywood movie prior to that? (Or at least the last one I can remember?) I can name two. A Kurt Russell movie called Dreamer ends with a racetrack scene, and in line to place a bet is Dick Allen. Not surprisingly, he looked comfortable there. In the '80's, Charley Lau had a significant part in Max Dugan Returns.

May 3, 20178 yr Worse thread on the front page currently... Adam Dunn or Extend Avi long term? Remember, there are no winners here.
