Gotta be enthused when a veteran makes a comeback; but that batting average is pitiful.
Also, as when he was with the D-backs, his outs are either double negatives (DPs), or Ks — very unproductive. So, enjoying his HRs requires the WSox fans to swallow a lot of very bad baseball in the process.
So anyway, I like Dunn and admire his strengths; but as a fan of the D-Backs, I learned you had to take a lot of bad along with the good. That frustration made his departure from the team a welcome development.

There have been many players who had extreme off-years, although perhaps not .159 BAs, and then rebounded; for example, Mickey Vernon and Roy Campanella. Usually injuries are the reason, so it’s reasonable to wonder whether Adam was hurt last year and just didn’t let on.
