Adam Dunn would also like to add that his teams’ career winning percentage = .445 or 72-90 average season. But he has a great OPS!

He’s been on the Reds and the Nationals. The Reds suck now without him and the Nats sucked before him. There’s a reason why contenders are rumored to be interested in trading for him. What’s the difference between a strikeout and a ground out to short?

@ Tomahawk – fair enough sir. I had to defend (a little) the guy that I’ve had on my fantasy team every year since 2003.

I’ll agree with you about Delmon Young, the guy would probably be a platoon player on a Special Olympic basball team. Bet the Twins are regretting shipping Matt Garza away for that waste of skin.

/Apologizes to any retards he offended by lumping them in with Delmon Young.

@ Tomahawk – You goddamn straight I am the worst player.

I’d go as far as worst ATHLETE.

@ BIggie – my comparison wasn’t even close to fair, I just thought the absolutes of the K totals were impressive. And I agree, Dunn isn’t nearly the worst player in MLB…I’m pretty sure that award goes to Delmon Young…

@ Tomahawk – Tony Gwynn only hit 135 HR’s in his entire career, Dunn did that in 3 seasons and 19 games. Not really a fair comparison do you think?.

Compare him to Reggie “Mr. October” Jackson, Hall of Famer and arguably one of the best clutch hitter of all time. Jackson has the MLB career record for strikeouts, with 2597 (13 more strikeouts than he had hits). reggie was a career .262 hitter, 5 points lower than Dunn is this season. At his current pace, Dunn would reach Jackson HR total of 563 (in 21 seasons) in only 15 seasons and his RBI mark in 19 seasons. Is Dunn a future Hall of famer…not likely (He’ll reach Jackson’s K record by year 16), but he’s far from the worst player in baseball.

I have no arguement for his faggy Phil Collins music though.

Dunn’s not even close to being the worst though. Chris Davis of Texas and Mark Reynolds of Arizona are both over the 100 K mark already (Dunn has 82). In Davis’ case he has over double the k’s to hits(batting .209). At this pace he’ll strickout 242 times this season, destroying Reynolds’ MLB record of 204 set last season.

On a side note 3 of the top 5 most strikeouts in a single season (EVER) were set last year (Reynolds – 204, Ryan Howard – 199, Jack Cust – 197)

Adam Dunn would also like to add that he strikes out a lot because he is fucking terrible.

I’m sorry. But you forgot to include how terrible I am at striking out, grounding into double plays, popping up, not being able to catch, etc…
