Have you not read anything I've said? What would give you that idea?

 

Dunn simply isn't the type of player we need if we want to win the AL Central. He's not a team player and he's just going to hurt our offense. We need players that can manufacture runs, not players that butcher opportunities.

Yes, and quite a bad one at that.

QUOTE (Felix @ Apr 15, 2011 -> 10:05 PM)
That was more about a healthy Peavy than anything. Isn't it obvious that we aren't going to get that? KW was fleeced. It happens. Let's move on and hope for a brighter tomorrow.

 

And a brighter tomorrow can only be a roster without Dunn.

 

You simply cannot write off a guy based on what happened last yr. The guy is simply too talented to not talk about success.

In every case, it was pitching not hitting that caused Cincy, Arizona, and Washington to fail.

 

Besides, Dunn did not have a choice to be in Cincinnati or Arizona, and Washington offered him money out of desperation (see Jason Werth).

 

Was Tony Gwynn bad?

 

Was Ryne Sandberg bad?

 

Was Don Mattingly bad?

 

Was Harmon Killebrew bad?

 

Was Ernie Banks bad?

 

Was Ted Williams bad?

 

None of these guys won a title.

Ok, so let's talk about the month or two he'll give us before blowing out his elbow. He'll be erratic, still trying to find his control, and then he'll get hurt again. We cannot depend on him in the future.

I dunno what makes you say that. He has 1 Hr, and 5 Rbis in 6 games that he has played with a .414 OBP. What is so horrible about that?

If this thread does not warrant a warning... what does? Felix is doing nothing but spewing irrational trash upon the soxtalk faithful. I figured this place would be able to control the animals a tad better than has been shown.

Cut out the personal attacks, Felix. Otherwise action WILL be taken.

False... the fate of the White Sox title chances land heavily on Peavy.

Yes, let's cherrypick stats that make him look good. 1 HR in 7 games (tonight's counts). Hrmmmmmmmmmm.. that's on pace for.. let's do the math here.. carry the one..... 23 this season.

 

HE CAN'T HIT AL PITCHING.

Just to let you know NL has far more quality arms than AL.

I didn't disagree with that. I said that we can't depend on him, or his injury concerns. Sure, if he's a Cy Young, MAYBE we'd win 90, but that's so unrealistic of an expectation it's not even worth addressing.

Ever hear of mario mendoza? Dunn isn't even hitting at that level. Kinda pathetic if you think about it.

Ya so are Pujols and Mauer.... real pathetic to even talk about this early on this season

What's his OPS? OBP? Pit/PA? Just curious, are those bordering on the production of Mario Mendoza?

This is without a doubt the greatest thread in Soxtalk history. The Carlos Gonzalez of all threads.

What's his average? K/PA?

A.) .902 career OPS

B.) avg. of 38 homeruns, 100 RBIs the past seven years

C.) only 24 at-bats thus far this season, half of which interrupted by an appendectomy

D.) IT'S ONLY APRIL 15th!!

 

Um, so why are we even having this discussion?

What is the first stat always shown from left to right? Now when i say this i mean since the beginning of history... can this be denied? Someone needs to bone up on their history.

 

Since clearly average is by far the most important... all those other fancy stats can... and should... be thrown out the window.

 

Adam Dunn just told you that you are a f***ing joke Felix.

Hey we know what we are getting from Adam Dunn. You ask for a the average, and K/PA ya his avg is low and K/PA is higher than the league average well so are his HR, Runs, RBIs, BB, OBP, OPS.

So what, we've learned he can hit a batting practice pitch from a joke of a pitcher? What's the big deal?
