This is no small sample like it's April, it's goddam September. After 109 games and 443 PAs:

.161/.291/.285

He's still walking a lot but that's about all you can say that's positive. He's striking out at a ridiculous 35.7% clip. Lost his power when he does make contact as you can see by his terrible .285 SLG and a career low .124 ISO. It's not like he provides value on defense either as he's a DH and a huge liability in interleague games in the field. And a shitty baserunner to boot.
What a huge fall off, he's easily the worst player in the league this year. -2.6 WAR

A lot of players are having a bad year, look at Ichiro...

Sure he's having a poor year, but nothing close to Dunn and the drop off he's experiencing.

Sure that triple slash line is worse, but at least Figgins provides some value on defense and on the bases. He can be inserted for those purposes giving him something. Dunn has NOTHING going for him now.
