Dunn Will Be Swinging For The Scoreboard

The Chicago White Sox's newest slugger will consistently hit 40 home runs, but playing in U.S. Cellular Field, those 40 home runs could be sent way back into the bleachers.

Having a player capable of hitting that many home runs isn't something new to the White Sox, but Adam Dunn still brings a new aspect to the White Sox lineup.

"He brings a bat that if you make a mistake with, and guys around him are hitting, then you're going to make a mistake to him and it's not going to cost you one run, it's going to cost you whatever is on base also," Ed Farmer, voice of the White Sox said on the Laurence Holmes Show.

In his second at-bat of the season, Dunn hit a two-run home run to put the White Sox up 4-0 in the third inning.
