This has turned into an appreciation thread. This makes me happy and positive.

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.

Really? Is this necessary? Sure I he'd done better and his AB's were frustrating, but this is just silly

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.

He was a poor signing, but he didn't sign himself.

He tried and seemed like a good guy.

What do you mean by that? I don't get it.

Dunn sucked, your posts suck I assume but he was negative so there's that.

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

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.

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.

I wouldn't go that far

Good guy, good teammate, Good Luck

Class act. Best of luck to him.

I agree, bet Abreu misses him somewhat

Wait until the Sox bring him back next year...

You're bringing me down man, you're bringing me down...

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.

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.

I wish Dunn good luck...........he was not a bad guy. I can see him going on a HR binge rest of the way.

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.

Why? 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.

 

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?

I am interested to see if they move this kid back to starting.

That's what I'm hoping for. By the reports I've read he has the secondary stuff to do it.

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.
