Hat tip to Matthew, who brought Adam Dunn's 2009 UZR to my attention...
Update: and look how this post is slightly different from his!
Since 2006, Adam Dunn has been worth 115.3 runs above average at the plate. Over that span, he's posted a raw wOBA of .385.
Since 2006, Pedro Feliz has been worth 58.2 runs below average at the plate. Over that span, he's posted a raw wOBA of .302.
Since 2006, Adam Dunn has been worth 7.1 WAR.
Since 2006, Pedro Feliz has been worth 7.4 WAR.
Adam Dunn is not this bad of a player. Adam Dunn is not a bad player at all. But somebody, please, for the love of all that is holy, get him the hell out of the National League.

The difference between Adam Dunn's and Franklin Gutierrez's UZR
is the close to the same difference as between Albert Pujols and Franklin Gutierrez at the plate.

Obviously it's important not to focus just on Dunn's 2009 UZR
Crazier than his single season number, I think, is that track record.
Jeff Sullivan - October 26, 2009
Is it?
Obviously the track record is laughable. But, I vote for the single season number being crazier. It was the worst UZR in the majors by 15 runs. It’s 5.5 standard deviations away from the mean!
Matthew - October 26, 2009
Crazier than -36 in one season is -64 in two!
Jeff Sullivan - October 26, 2009
64! Dunn took a bad number and squared it!
Jeff Sullivan - October 26, 2009
A below average number and cubed it!
Matthew - October 26, 2009
A number very slightly below average and multiplied it by 64!
Jeff Sullivan - October 26, 2009
God you guys are weird
Graham MacAree - October 26, 2009
A number 64 runs above average and subtracted 128!

Jeff Sullivan - October 26, 2009
What a ripoff
Dewey N - October 26, 2009
Is it about Adam Dunn?
Matthew - October 26, 2009
It could be interpreted that way
Jeff Sullivan - October 26, 2009
I already thought of that.
Matthew - October 26, 2009
Scrap that then
I’m going to draft a new TWSG
Jeff Sullivan - October 26, 2009
Better hurry.
Matthew - October 26, 2009
Finally.

Dewey N - October 26, 2009
He was postnatally aborted with a [COATHANGER]
Jeff Sullivan - October 26, 2009
Now who will sew the wheat at harvestime
OlSalty - October 26, 2009
I am offended by your crassness
Dewey N - October 26, 2009
Rec'd for [COATHANGER]
