I can find in what the hell happened to a team that looked to be one of the best in the league suddenly imploding and then pissing on its own ashes. What to Watch For: This team’s pretty much all about praying for comebacks. The only steady performers...

White Sox center fielder Alex Rios has the look of a five-tool baseball player. He has the contract to match. The problem lies when you wind him up and turn him loose on a baseball field. Rios, along with new acquisition Adam Dunn, was the poster boy...
-
All the questions about Adam Dunn’s mechanics, Alex Rios’ passion and Gordon Beckham’s overthinking were just excuses. The real reason the Sox finished where they did last season despite a $127 million payroll was because the dysfunctional atmosphere...
-
If you are looking to follow a couple underdog candidates, I'd suggest Erik Cordier or 6-foot-8 non-roster invitee Adam Russell, who might be the biggest pitcher I've ever seen in the Braves' clubhouse. Think Adam Dunn, not Charlie Kerfeld. The Braves...
-
The Sox have a ton of money invested in Dunn, so they’re not looking to have him ride the pine, even if he’s not helping the club. When you take a gander at Dunn’s numbers from last year, they really
-
Instead he became known for starting out hot and fading quickly. If the White Sox are going to have a chance at competing in the AL Central, they are going to need their big-salaried players, namely Adam Dunn, Alex Rios and Jake Peavy, to have...

While Hanley Ramirez and Adam Dunn highlight the list, the same can be said about veteran David DeJesus. The long-time outfielder for the Royals struggled in Oakland with the A's. DeJesus never was a fantasy star, but he did once score 101 runs in a...

Reynolds. While you probably can’t go wrong with any of the first 6 guys on the list, not many people would hassle you about taking any of the first 3 with one of your first picks. Then again, you shouldn’t care who hassles you anyway. That doesn’t mean...
-
Why would we be? We got a historically bad year out of Adam Dunn. That can’t repeat itself, if it starts to, he’ll simply be benched. Alex Rios wanders around center field like he doesn’t have a care in the world. 99 problems and a fly ball ain’t one. ...
-
Twins club and, well, the Indians (nobody knows what’s going on there), Chicago could become a cellar-dweller for years to come. Save for Paul Konerko (who goes overlooked every year) and AJ Pierzynski (who cannot possibly be overlooked), there isn’t...

But with that potential transition there is a concern that a hitter's statistics suffer when they are the primary DH. Look no further than recent comments from Tigers outfielder Delmon Young when asked if he would be opposed to taking on the team's...

But at least White Sox hitting coach Jeff Manto knows he can't take more arrows than departed Greg Walker, who probably still is salving his back wounds. Any improvement would put him up for South Side sainthood. "It's a great challenge," Manto said. ...

This time, it concerned Adam Dunn. The source said Guillen knew something was wrong with Dunn's swing as early as spring training, and still, Guillen ran Dunn out there often enough to come within six plate appearances of qualifying for the batting title.
-
More Podcasts » "He says 'We have a problem,' " Guillen said Friday on "The Waddle & Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000. "I say 'What? Spring training is only a couple of days [old].' He says 'You've got to come out and see Adam Dunn's swing.' I said 'Don't...

They frequently make outlandish claims like “Adam Dunn is going to hit 50 home runs in Comerica Park!” Sure, if you said Jose Bautista was going to summon greatness going into 2010, you looked pretty smart, but anyone who predicts performance...

According to Baseball Reference, only 31 non-pitchers have weighed in at 250+ pounds. Out of that 31, only five posted a career WAR over 15, one of which is Prince Fielder. The other four are Jim Thome, Frank Howard, Adam Dunn, and Carlos Lee. Dunn and...

Expectations were higher for the White Sox, and the AL Central seemed plenty winnable as well. The Sox hovered just below .500 and on the fringe of the race for most of the season. Everyone seemed to be waiting for Adam Dunn and Alex Rios to start...

Despite batting third in every game Young played as a Tiger last season, Leyland said in late January that the right-handed power hitter will bat fifth behind Fielder this season. Asked whether he’d welcome a full-time DH role, Young pointed to the...
