07:50 AM ET 02.26 | Adam Dunn arrived in camp Saturday with a clean slate and plenty of patience from new manager Robin Ventura in the wake of Dunn's horrific 2011 season. "It's part of playing the game, and that makes it difficult," Ventura said of Dunn's .159 batting average and franchise-record 177 strikeouts. "But he's had success in the past, and that's what I'm counting on. I've seen him play. I've seen him do well. And I want him to come in and be prepared to do that. He has a clean slate." Ventura said he would stick with Dunn, no matter what.

Dunn was beyond terrible last summer. The guy's career may be over.

The Sox have to give him a shot to play, considering they're on the hook for another $48 million or so.

This story seems similar to Sveum hoping to get increased production out of Soriano. Only difference is even Soriano has more upside than this lumbering Mule

Will a BA over .200 be considered a succesful season for Dunn?

Sure will be. But he also has to knock 28 homers. He is being held to Carlos Pena standards, which he will not even meet.

Hey, I bowled three games today, had a 142, 146 and 136. Dunn would kick my ass.
