I really don't think it is right to keep a player happy by keeping them in a position that they suck at. Who says Dunn can't be just as happy at first with a better team around him and winning more games. I am sick and tired of professional athletes being able to make decisions about where they play and what not. Do something for whats best for the team for a change.
Moving to first base affects his career a lot. He goes from an upper echelon OF to an upper midecheclon 1bman. 1bman are a lot less valuable than outfielders. plus he doesnt think he is very good at 1st.
If it impacts his career why shouldn't he have a say? If you got moved from your job position in which you are less valued, wouldn't you be upset or unwilling?
Or what if u got moved to a position in your job with less possiblity to move up the corporate ladder (a better business world example i guess)... I think you'd want a say
I am sorry but how does moving to 1st lower his value?
When he plays the OF like Lonnie "Skates" Smith.....his value is down as an OF.
It did not hurt Pete Rose to move around so much. He did it. For the team.
When Votto comes up in about 2 years (we hope) then Dunn can move back to the OF.
