While I think 4 years, $80 million for Navarro is an exaggeration, to say that the baseball market has outpaced inflation since 1997 would be quite the understatement.

I agree I would think given Navarro's age and previous couple seasons, the contract he received from the Sox, had it happened in 2010, would have neen very similar to the amount they are paying Dunn. I think , at least for this particular argument, the contracts are non factors. Pretty much a wash. |

Navarro was AWFUL. But we were able to absorb his salary and trade him. Dunn is untradable and is just a vortex of sucktitude. Although congrats to him on winning comeback player of year. Imagine of he hit 270 this year he could win it again. But the contract has hampered the team and made us into a team that will not make the playoffs as long as he's here. He's so one dimensional it's pathetic.
It would not be a complete thread without a reminder to Tdog about the original thread. http://www.whitesoxinteractive.com/v...ight=Adam+dunn

Navarro or Dunn? Electric chair or lethal injection?

Adam Dunn is not only the worse all around player the White Sox have had in my lifetime, he's the worse cleanup hitter we've ever had. It looks like his batting average this year will be lower than what it was in 2011. I think Ventura is playing him at first base hoping this might stimulate him to go on to bigger and better things offensively. It isn't happening. Dunn is done as a productive major league hitter.

Yes. I'm young so I don't remember White Sox baseball before 2003 very well. Adam Dunn is mostly strikeout/occasionally home run now. He's awful, has never had a batting average over .220, and was given a bunch of money to suck.

Can we finally put to bed the myth that Kenny Williams was some supposed genius?

Adam Dunn's act is starting to make me almost like and respect Claudell Washington.

Bloombergs 9th inning homer in the 9th on opening day 1978 made me forget about Zisk and Gamble for 1 day.

The downward slide of the backend of Dunn's career, the health issues, the mental issues or whatever, Dunn is to blame and not KW. The choice here is Navarro, by a long shot! If you are going to pitch bad, own up to it, don't blame your teammates. Look at Barry Zito, how he has become an asset to the Giants after failing miserably after signing that huge FA contract.

Bad as Dunn has been, I gotta go with Navarro.
I always thought that the signing of Jaime Navarro was JR's knee-jerk reaction to the Cubs' swooping in and signing Kevin Tapani from the Sox. As such, I think JR let his emotions get the best of him by overpaying AND going (for him) so long, as if to say "I'll show THEM how to sign a FA pitcher" And a really bad choice it was, even though it eventually did lead to Jose Valentin, who was one of my favorites while with the Sox. I was there for his 3-HR game in Kansas City, too. SMO ![]()

Another bad part of the Jaime Navarro signing was the Sox chose him over Roger Clemens. True, it was the washed-up, pre-steroid Roger Clemens but still.
