I agree. I think most people around baseball undervalue Dunn's skill set. It will be interesting to see what Dunn gets compared to the other players around the league -- and how that works out in terms of production for the dollar.
When Gary Matthew's Jr gets $10M per, Dunn getting in the $12-14M range would be quite the discount. I think Dunn ends up someplace rather unexpected, like Baltimore, Kansas City, or San Fransisco.
