Unabated Sports

Although nobody on the Reds' website seems to want to run a story about it, and even though today Cincinnati Enquirer had a sports section front page blurb about it, and dubiously no online article about it, and although no one on the team will give a straight answer, one thing is obvious. Adam Dunn's hand is broken.

Now I love Dunn as much as the next guy, and any free swinging big guy like him who hits bombs at his clip is a welcome addition. But this is insane. The guy breaks his hand in May (ie. second month of the season!) tells no one, and proceeds to play with it, until it gets hit with another pitch.
At which point he cowboys up, literally blows off an X-ray and decides he knows what's best for his own hand. I'm all for guys being gamers, but this is just flat out unnecessary and irresponsible. What is the point of playing baseball with a broken hand, particularly if it's your throwing hand, and you're playing in the outfield?
Not to mention that once Reds brass found out about it, they went into spin mode, instead of just owning up to the issue and pointing out that they didn't know, and didn't have it in them to say something to the guy.
I guess this can all be attributed to another solid step in Bob and the Bros. Williams starting things off on the right foot. Excuse me, the right hand.
