Seriously, why not consider signing Dunn? I don't want to puke out all the stats about his production and foibles, but I'd simply like to consider a move that would make the Reds better, significantly better, for the next 3 years.

Let's hypothetically say his price tag is 3/$36 million ... the Dye move means, at some level, the Reds could absorb such a salary at this point. Granted I'd be terrified at making more of a commitment to Dunn than that, but what's the down side? We know almost exactly what we are getting at a (market) fair price ... $12/mill for 40HRs/100RBIs/100Runs is reasonable ...

Also, let's also assume Dunn would even come back; Arroyo comments and perceived bad blood and all ... but maybe the hope of a better team (if the offense can score runs) would actually be a plus at this point ...

Yes in a perfect world the Reds would want/need a right handed bat (unfortunately Burrell's a worse fielder than Dunn and is almost an duplicate of Dunn offensively) ... 

I realize this is a move that won't happen, but if Mr Castellini is serious about winning now, why not make a move that makes sense ... Votto, EE and Bruce right now, would provide more protection/production than about any other Red team Dunn has been involved with ...
