The whole time he made 5-tool player money but only possessed one tool.

Horrible defensive player that can’t hit a sack fly to save his life.

Glad as I am that Dunn didn’t have his worst season for the Nats, and that the Nats got two high draft picks for him, It was sad to see how much he struggled last season. Hope he turns it around before he gets too old to turn it around.

Hes always struckout a ton but Kenny Williams was chasing this guy for so long, two or three years from what I understand, that he was too close to the trees to see the forest. His numbers last year were so bad he should improve some, but it looks like Kenny Williams gave up a lot of money for some who began his decline the year before he signed him, not the year after.

But that might be the only stat in which Dunn didn’t finish last in the majors.

.569 OPS? Getting PAID for it? If this guy gets 5 hits against lefties in 2012, he’ll be Comeback Player of the Year.

I am hoping it was just this curse of the big contract and he will bonce back, he seems like a good guy.

They were both out-OPS’d by Juan Pierre…and Juan had the 2nd lowest OPS of his career.

He seems like too nice a person not to root for. Oh well. There’s always Luke Scott to mock.
