Re: Here\'s how terrible the Reds are.

It's not so much that. It's that Dunn's K rate is up and his walk rate is down. If he mantains his career BABIP and HR/FB% with his current K and BB rates, he's looking at a line of something like .220/.320/.485. That's not good for what amounts to a DH.

But his BABIP and HR/FB are both up this year. Overall, his stats this year are almost identical to his carrer-best 2004 season, though his OBP and SLG are a bit down. But that's because his FB% is down a couple points from that season, which accounts for the slight dip in those numbers (along with his decreased walk rate for OBP). Narron regularly batting him 5th, 6th, and sometimes 7th allows pitchers to go after him much more.
