Date :   2/13/09, 8:34am Good move for the Nats I think. But isn't the Nats new ballpark more of a pitcher's park. If so, I say Dunn's fantasy value takes a hit. For one, he has always been an all or nothing player. He has never hit for a good average. Yes, the home run power is there, but he strikes out a ton. Looking like another 240 to 250 type of year, maybe 40 plus home runs. I predict he won't hit more than 40 HRs & he'll hit between 240 & 250, 255 maybe for batting average. • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #6042 • Back to Topics 7444 reads

My initial reaction was exactly the same, but I remember when the new ballpark opened, and I was downplaying Alfonso Soriano as a result. So, Alfonso promptly comes out and hits career high 46 HRs. On this basis, I think we can expect more of the same from Dunn... 40 HRs. And, I'm willing to pay for that, so long as I have average taken care of elsewhere. • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #6044 • Back to Topics 7443 reads

Date :   2/13/09, 9:01am Yeah, you can't deny Dunn's power. I guess if you had 2 other outfielders that hit for average in your starting fantasy outfield, your doing pretty good. • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #6046 • Back to Topics 7443 reads
