Adam Dunn is having a career year

[ELCABALLO45]

Adam Dunn's UZR/150 this year in RF...

 

-36.2

 

Last year...

 

-71.4

 

Dunn at 1ST this year....

 

-26.1

 

Add that defense along with Fukudome (-6.9) and Soriano (-10.5) and that defense could of gotten ugly.

What was Kosuke in RF last year? I thought it was a +. I was expecting his defense to suffer, shifting to CF, but not to go down to a - defender.

 

Koskue was outstanding last year in RF with a +13.1.

Ibanez since the allstar break: .220/.313/.404/.717

 

He had a freakishly good first half which was totally out of line with anything in his career up to that point. He's not as bad as his post-asb numbers, either, but I'm certainly happy to have Bradley over Ibanez.

I probably should of pointed out that was in 23 games last year. I just wanted to point out how bad he really is in right.

Bradley just needs to hit for extra base hits a little more. This past month he is..

 

.308/.427/.484/.911

 

I think that is the guy the Cubs wanted when the signed him. But for some reason... getting off the a bad start in baseball = labled as a terrible signing.

It should also be noted that FanGraphs has the difference between Dunn and Bradley at 0.3 wins for the year. It's pretty impressive to give away that many runs in the field.

He's had to have that 1.000ish OPS just to make up for his awful defense. He's barely an above-average player because his defense is so terrible. He's slightly more passable at first base, but he would have strictly played in the outfield for the Cubs.

 

Since his defense has declined even further from his already-terrible levels, this probably isn't a career year for him.

 

He needs to DH somewhere to actually be a truly valuable player.
