Dunn now has five home runs in his last seven games. If you can live with the batting average, Dunn will provide the power numbers.","date":"Mon May 20"},"fullName":"Adam Dunn","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Dunn's 2012 cannot be classified as anything less than a success, at least if you compare it to his 2011, which went down as one of the worst in history by an every-day player (although he did miss 40 games in '11). In 2012, he belted 41 home runs, his most since 2004, and was the major league leader in walks (both his 105 total and his 16.2 percent rate), two tremendous assets. But everything else in his profile was about as nightmarish as it was the year before. He whiffed 34.2 percent of the time (the second-highest single-season qualified rate in history), he couldn't consistently catch up with 93-plus mph fastballs (.183 average) and he batted .191 against left-handers. This encapsulates who Dunn is: He has walked, whiffed or homered in 50 percent of his career plate appearances, cementing his status as the greatest \"three true outcomes\" player in the game's annals. That means he's one of the most attractive power sources in the game, but one with perhaps the greatest value differential between leagues that value batting average versus on-base percentage. He's a liability in the former and an asset in the latter.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":4.2,"playerRater15DAY":5.6,"positionRank":25}
