Unreal. Maybe Dunn is "worth" that 9 million he is seeking. Marketwise anyways, he probably deserves 8-9 if Gibbons is worth 5.25 million a year.

Jay Gibbons is a 5th outfielder on a good team and a 4th on some bad teams.

Corner-men with a .315 career on base percentage should make much, much closer to the league minimum.

Hi, my name's Jay and I make a lot of outs."
