The only help Dunn was to his team was hitting home runs, 28.50% of his hits were home runs.
Comparison to the top 10 home run hitters: Bonds: 25.96% Aaron: 20.02% Ruth: 24.85% Mays: 20.10% A.Rodriguez: 22.25% Griffey: 22.65% Thome: 26.29% Sosa: 25.29% F.Robinson: 19.91% McGwire: 35.85% McGwire is the only player with a higher percentage of HR/Hit than Dunn on that list. Yet McGwire was able to do it while having a BA of .263 compared to Dunn's BA of .238 (this includes a horrible .159 in 2011). Dunn did nothing to help in the field, Rpos -109 and his Batting just wasn't enough (Rbat= 218 [with a -27 in 2011, and only 10 seasons with 10 or more runs above average from batting). His horrible fielding combined with his mediocre batting put him -80 RAA, that is runs below the average player in his career. He also has a negative WAA replacement number at -9.2. There were 9 seasons were he was in the negative for RAA, and only one full season where he was above 10 (2004 with 27). If a player is providing less runs for his team for most of his career rather than adding them he really shouldn't be in the HOF. He just happened to hit the ball a long distance when he happened to make contact, but he rarely made contact.
