The more common opined problem with Dunn is he played for Cincy and was never really on the map. He's not a "marquee, fill the seats" name.
That shouldn't affect how team GM's look at him tho, so there is something there (steroids as an example, I seriously doubt it) or maybe teams fear he can't handle pressure in the "BIG" time cities or contenders. He just has been under the radar for whatever reason.
Personally, I think Cleveland should have tried to sign him. Sizemore, Hafner, Peralta, Martinez, Garko, Cabrera, Shin-Choo and Dunn.... that lineup starts sounding close to Baerga, Thome, Vizquel, Lofton, Belle, Alomar, Ramirez. Only better because this time it has pitching to back it up.
