The Dunn has "No Protection" MYTH

For those of you who buy into the "Dunn has no protection" myth or its because of the slot in the batting order that Dunn was horrid for 4 out of 6 months this year......

Have a look across the diamond at Lance Berkman. Berkman has had NOTHING hitting behind him all year but what did he do?  He put up a .311 avg., 122 RBIs, 40+ homers etc..... he has almost as many walks as dunn in far fewer games. He was no doubt pitched around all year but HE (because he's a "good hitter") found a way........

with "good hitters" it matters very little "where" they hit in order - they just hit. They hit all kinds of pitches, frequently to all fields and from any slot in batting order.

Fragile, overrated, overpaid slumping big swing guys can be derailed by a "rain delay" and need a month to get back on track...........

OVERRATED AND OVERPAID
