With Dunn (at least in later years), it felt like it was a bomb or an out.
That's what it felt like this year with the Reds' hitters.

Nah, just gotta defend Dunn from historical revisions.

.380 OBP with the Reds is VERY good. Not even touching his elite power.

Dunn's main problem was simply that the NL didn't have the DH. That's actually my biggest sports take hill that I will gladly die on: David Ortiz is just Adam Dunn if he had the DH the entire time.

You add the wear and tear of 11,300 defensive innings in the rain/sun/heat/cold and all the time dedicated to practicing defense and time spent thinking about defense (which would also take away energy and time to better perfect your offense) and I guarantee you Ortiz has a lesser and shorter career that looked a lot like Dunn's.
