Dunn to the Dbacks

[MasterBlaster]

Or 2B, 3B, CF, or C. I'll take my chances with a few sluggers, a few of great hitters (by my definition), and a few singles hitters over 8 Dunns, especially if they have to play the field. The 8 Dunns would score 18 runs one game and score nothing for the next two games as they strike out 20 times in each game.

 

Seriously, this discussion has become absolutely absurd. 8 Dunns might make a great fantasy team in a points league. The World of Warcraft crowd is getting a little nutty in this thread.

 

SUCK ON THAT NERDS!!!!!

 

Include this tidbit as well:

Huh? have you ever met someone who's addicted to WoW? There's people who play video games, and then there's the WoW crowd. There's also people who understand statistics, and there's people who think 8 Adam Dunn's on a for real life baseball team would be good.

[UK1679666180]

Thankfully, no. But, I imagine the variance between that game and a video game based on creating civilizations is less than someone plugging Dunn 8 times into a lineup and world of warcraft.

 

Plus, I was just kidding around.

Are you saying that lineup would not be good?

How many runs would that team give up in defense every game?

But I want to repeat the question. Are you saying that lineup would not be good?

If the lineup scored 6 runs, that would be great. But if the defense gives up 10 runs that would be not great. No matter who's pitching, any ground ball not hit right at Adam Dunn would be a single.

[David]

The argument is about Dunn as an offensive player. The "8 Dunn's" thing refers to an offensive lineup and obviously nobody is saying that actually putting a DNA clone of Adam Dunn at every position would be a good idea. Give me a friggin break.

 

8 hitters like Adam Dunn would be an extremely productive lineup.

[abuck1220]

my goodness, video game nerd, are you seriously basing your argument on how good the defense would be with eight adam dunns in the lineup? are you trying to miss the point or what?

I, at least, wasn't talking about what you said SSR.

[RedFlash]

Man I can't wait for the day until Adam Dunn retired from baseball. This back and forth on Dunn is at a stalemate that won't be resolved anytime soon.

 

Simple truth: Dunn is a great offensive weapon, poor defensively. He's the definition of a DH.........

Actually, there is no stalemate. It's been resolved. Some people just refuse to believe the truth.

[MasterBlaster]

The point is 8 Dunns offensively but others have mentioned a team of Dunns as well as Master Blaster.

Well I did initially think the argument was 8 genetically engineered copies of Adam Dunn. I think it's pretty convenient for the proponents of this argument to only include his offensive skill set as the basis of the argument. Last I checked there is defense in baseball still and Adam Dunn freaking sucks in that aspect. Take the whole skill set or not at all, which is why the point is insane.

 

I'll take the current Cubs team with 5.4 runs per game, and not a single 'Adam Dunn' in the lineup, and I'm pretty confident they'd beat a team with 8 Dunns quite handily.

man you're such a bad poster

 

the question is "is adam dunn a good hitter"

 

the answer is "yes, if you had an entire lineup that hit like adam dunn, that offense would be incredible. better than four adam dunn's and four ryan theriots or 4 ichiros or whatever"

 

how badly you're missing the subject is just mindblowing.

You're telling me every hitter having an OPS over .900 is a good thing?

Actually, I joined the discussion when posters were calling Dunn "a great hitter". My contention is that Dunn is a great slugger, but not a great hitter and that modern stats are skewed overwhelmingly toward sluggers rather than hitters.

"modern stats"? So if we just went back to relying solely on AVG, the true great hitters of the game would get their due.

So are ancient stats and medieval stats because a double is always better than a single, a triple is always better than a double, and the HR is Caesar, King, or President b/c it always results in a run.

Your argument is quite silly. What should we go by to judge how great a hitter is?

except when the HR kills a rally. man it sucks to take the pressure off a pitcher with a grand slam rather than just 1-2 runs with a single, leaving 2 guys on.
