ADAM DUNN RUMORS & GOSSIP

Guillen saw early signs Dunn has swing issues

Former Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen told a Chicago radio station that he knew slugger Adam Dunn was in for a long year before last season even started. Guillen said he was told by the team's hitting coach on the very first day of spring training that there was a "problem" with Dunn's swing. Unconcerned at first, Guillen said he agreed with the assessment...

Testing Projections for 2011

Each year, baseball fans and commentators across the nation make bold predictions about what they expect in the coming year. They frequently make outlandish claims like “Adam Dunn is going to hit 50 home runs in Comerica Park!” or “This is the year that Joe Mauer finally hits .400!” but such predictions are far more likely to be high than low. Sure, if you said Jose Bautista...

#41: Will Adam Dunn bounce back in 2012?

Adam Dunn’s 2011 season was quite possibly one of the most shocking and disappointing fantasy seasons I’ve ever witnessed. His 2011 season was as useful as a square wheel. He was traditionally bankable for 35-40 homers and 110-120 RBI a season. What did we get last year? Well, Dunn put up the following numbers in 2011: .159 AVG, 11 HR, 42 RBI, 36 runs, .569 OPS. Those who...

Dunn hopes he's done talking about miserable 2011

Adam Dunn's first season with the Chicago White Sox was one he'd love to forget. He knows that's not going to happen because everyone wants to know what went wrong. Why did a slugger 35 homers shy of 400 for his career go through one of the most miserable seasons in baseball history with a .159 average, only 11 homers and a team-record 177 strikeouts? Dunn said Saturday...

Adam Dunn: "I Don't Want to Make Excuses"

In 2010, Adam Dunn hit 38 homers...running his career total to 354.How good is that? Try this on for size. In Major League history, only Albert Pujols (408), Eddie Mathews (370) and Ralph Kiner (370) were more prolific through their first ten season.Heck, there was a time when Dunn was looking to tie Babe Ruth to become the only players to have seven straight seasons with 40 or...

JOHN DEERE LETTER

An open email to Adam Dunn

Hello Mr. Dunn, I’m a lifelong Chicago White Sox fan. I know you probably get tons of letters and e-mails, and I’m sure most of them are discouraging. This is not one of those letters. For a decade, I wanted you on the Chicago White Sox. When we were strolling out designated hitters like Brian Daubach, Carl Everett, and Mark Kotsay, you were always on the back of my mind...
