Huh wow. I thought he was older than 29, my bad! Maybe he's just one of those players that most people don't think he's very 'sexy'. I think my underrating of him is confirmed. The unfortunate thing about signing with the Nats, is though he'll have the HR's still, his RBI's may see a dip, since the Nats probably don't see as many people on base as other teams. Though I suppose the Reds weren't exactly up there either.

The problem with Cleveland is that they are currently stuck with an unproductive/injured Travis Hafner, who would be where Dunn would go. I don't think Cleveland could realistically look at having room for Dunn when theres Hafner at DH and possibly V-Mart spending some time at 1st due to the Catcher position starting to wear on his injuries and a really rising Kelly Shoppach.
