Why does noone care?

Question

about the Dbacks acquisitions

They got ADAM DUNN

people only care about manny and Dunn is better than manny

they also got Jon Rauch and Tony Clark

Answer 1

I do.  Im a big Reds fan and I'm telling you the D'Backs got one heck of a player in Adam Dunn.  He's in the high point of his career now and is still due for some more monster seasons.  Every year you can pencil in 40+ homers, 100+ RBI's, 100+ walks.  Yes, he strikes out a lot and yes he has a low average.  But if you look at his on-base-percentage it's higher than half the lead-off hitters im major league baseball. A walk is just as good as a single, and in some ways better because it forces the pitcher to work harder and runs up his pitch count.

Answer 2

you are now the dumbest person ive ever met. manny owns dunn. he sucks azz. dodgers will walk away with the west. moron

Answer 3

Here is why:

Dunn for DBacks .286 AVG 3 Runs 6 hits 0 HR's 2 2B's 3 RBI's

Manny for LA .424 AVG 11 RUns 25 Hits 3 2B's 6 HR's 21 RBI's

Does that make it any more clear for you? Unfortunately the worst thing the DBacks have done in the last year was trade Carlos Quentin for Chris Carter. They wouldn't have had to make any moves this season if they would not have given up on him. That's what makes the Dunn signing less spectacular.

Answer 4

Adam Dunn hits about .200 and either hits a HR or strikes out.  Manny is one of the best clutch hitters in baseball.  Manny in the Dodger lineup has already been huge.  Kent has been hitting a lot better with Manny behind him.  The Dbacks should have signed Bonds :)

Answer 5

Dunn better than Manny. HAHAHA thanks for the laughs.

I actually wouldn't want Dunn on my Cubs. Complete opposite of our whole lineup. Terrible average and either hits a HR or strikes out. The Cubs are all about average and hitting with RISP.

I wouldn't even put Dunn in top 25 of MLB players, Manny on the other hand would be in top 10 even though I don't like him.

Answer 6

i dont know  

Answer 7

Hopefully he can step up and fill the gap eric left.

Answer 8

dunn is a strike out or hit a home run type of hitter sorta of the likes of richie sexson just not as bad...jon rauch was a nice pick up but dunn is no manny not even close better fielder prolly but hitting wise no

Answer 9

true  BUT dunn also has the most Ks

Answer 10

do u know how many times Dunn strikes out. Hes only good for that big home run every once in awhile.

Manny is amazing

Answer 11

Dunn isn't even at the same level as Manny, so your a complete idiot for saying that.

The D-Backs AREN'T as good as the Dodgers, so the Dodgers will get more attention.  No one cares about Rauch or Clark either.

Answer 12

Dunn better than Manny? Mr. Clutch? Do you watch baseball?

Answer 13

You can't compare a Future Hall of Famer to a Guy who's career batting Average is .250

Answer 14

People are aware that Adam Dunn moved to Arizona, but its just that hes not as big of a name as Manny. Manny stirred up so much controversy in Boston, but what did Adam do in Cincy?  Nothing but hit 40 homers a year.

Many fans probably werent aware that Miguel Tejada was a Astro at the start of the season, because hes not known for anything else but his game.

And Dunn is not better than Manny.  Dunn's a feast or famine type of hitter. strikeout or homer.  Manny can do so much more.

John Rauch isnt a big name either.
