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.

His on-base + slugging is very high - .925 - so his is a loud, and therefore productive, .226 BA. It’s a huge help he’s taking/getting walks again.
