Big Bats Not Hitting Their Weights

I was curious and wanted to see how many players hit double digit home runs that also failed to hit their weight. A power bat might be given more leniency and be allowed to stay in the line up over a speedster that couldn't connect. If a players average was within a couple pounds of their listed weight I didn't give them the benefit of the doubt. No surprise that Adam Dunn leads the list. Of course if he also hit his weight he'd be putting up Hall of Fame numbers.
