Donkey

I just wanted to highlight a post over at Baseball Musings.  Even casual fans of baseball know David Ortiz and Alex Rodriguez.  But it seems like a lot of people don't know Adam Dunn.  He often gets knocked as a guy who strikes out too much to be valuable.  Consider, however, that he is a Three True Outcomes kind of hitter.  He strikes out a lot, he walks a lot, and he hits a lot of homeruns.  He leads the league in walks right now, and only two people have hit more homeruns than him in the past 4 1/2 years, and one of them is an inner-circle first ballot hall of famer to-be.  He is an immensely valuable hitter, and he doesn't get nearly enough credit.  I hope the Reds give him a nice extension, I would like to see him continue playing in Cincinnati.
