Either he's hurt or this is an aberration. You dont lose 80%+ of your K ability getting promoted within A ball.

Well in fairness he was in Brooklyn which is a very low level of baseball. The Mets send their 1st round college picks there much to the dismay of people like Keith Law. Dunn "skipped" a level but his pedigree/resume he belongs in St. Lucie. He's where a high first round pick for other organizations BEGINS his career. The Mets just have a BK then St. Lucie draft program. He did walk 10 in 30 innings in BK so he showed some evidence of issues throwing strikes even last year. 30 innings 25 hits 10 walks isn't very impressive for a kid that talented in BK. It's underwhelming. Hopefully he turns it around.

Lets assess after 8-10 starts.

did I not say "far my biggest disappointment (and yes it's extremely early) is Dunn. "?
The options are either totally ignore anything anyone is doing (good or bad) or comment on them and acknowledge the small sample size. Had he made 2 starts 14 innings 5 hits 25 k's I think people would be going wild over it no>?

Im fairly dismissive of starts unless they suggest something (e.g. Cecch not having an error tells me something -- unlikely it is random).

Dunn wasn't exactly dominant in BK. He made 15 career college starts over 3 seasons. There is a much higher risk associated with him than other college SP's. He was a bad college baseball player his first 2 seasons, had a great stretch to end his career (8 starts) and was a high pick. There isn't a substantial track record of success at any level.
Just to be clear I'm not even going nuts over 2 starts, just that of the top prospects in the system his start has been "most disappointing" (he and Lindsay). Just notable that he has a very limited track record of success at any level so it's "more" worrisome if a few starts from now he's not missing A+ bats. He's highly athletic, he's intelligent. Just a disappointing first 2 starts, nothing more... for now.
