47 homers, 99 XBH, 112 RBIs, Pujols and Bonds miss some time due to injury, but Andruw Jones wins MVP (with a 247/333/501 line, btw) because he got "snubbed" this year.

DUNN PLAYED LAST YEAR WITH A BROKEN HAND!

 

http://www.daytondailynews.com/sports/content/sports/reds/daily/0128reds.html

 

Adam Dunn hit 40 home runs last season. He drove in 101 runs, scored 107 runs and walked 114 times — all with a broken right hand.

 

It's his football mentality.

 

Reds manager Jerry Narron let it slip this week at a Dayton Agonis Club meeting when somebody criticized Dunn.

 

"He broke his hand twice last year and wouldn't let us X-ray it because he wanted to play," said Narron.

 

When Dunn was asked about it, he uttered a profanity and said, "He isn't supposed to be talking about that. It was not that big of a deal."

 

Asked how long the hand hurt, Dunn said, "What time is it now?"

 

So, it still hurts.

 

"Yeah, I had it checked this week and the doctor said I should put a splint on it, but the heck with that," said the man who takes over first base for the Cincinnati Reds this year.

 

Dunn, a former scholarship quarterback at the University of Texas before he was the Reds' No. 2 draft choice in 1998, believes a little ol' hairline fracture shouldn't stop a 6-foot-6, 275-pound Texan.

 

And it didn't.

 

"In May in Houston, I was diving back into third base on a pickoff play and Morgan Ensberg stepped on the hand," he said.

 

Dunn played on.

 

"Later in the year, some home game and I don't remember who, I was hit on the hand, same exact spot," he said. "I remember how I used to make fun of Aaron Boone for getting hit on the hands all the time and asking him, 'How does that happen? How can you get hit on the hand? Can't you get out of the way?' Now I know."

I hope so. I'll be very happy with the overall #1 pick in our league this year, in that case!

Jacque Jones is a terrible defensive outfielder. Aaron Miles is a Hall of Famer.

Aaron Miles can rake. Didn't you see he almost hit for the cycle today? He's a shoe-in for the hall of fame.
