Well, other than Hoffpauir, I'm not sure who else there is that could play 1st, although I'm not extremely familiar with all of our prospects. I don't know, it would be extremely nice to have another big left-handed bat in the line up and I think the K's and less than spectacular defense might be worth it.

The Cubs really don't have any 1B down there byt they have tons of OF and IF that maybe can move to 1B. But, that's speculation from me.

Yeah, like I said, I really don't know who COULD move.

If I'm Hendry..
I give Dunn a decent two year deal.
7 mill base salary per year.
High level incentives that could push it to 14 per year.
More likely that it ends up being around 8 or 9 with some incentives actually getting kicked in.

I think this is the only realistic possibility. I'm not sure that Dunn would go for 7 million a year base salary, even with incentives that could make it 14 million a year. The other thing too, is I think there would need to be a clause for a possible two year extension, with a pay increase.

Yeah that. It was on the tip of my tongue and for the life of me, I could not remember it.

But Dunn is in a position of leverage here, not us.

Pretty much.
Understandable. We've got so many crap contracts in the books, we need a solid player for a decent amount, that we're not stuck with for 10 years at a time.

I don't see anyone grossly overpaying for his services.
I moderate offer may be all it takes.

If Dunn wants to put up #'s he will come to Chicago. If he wants the money, he will go elsewhere. That's how I see it.

Yeah, he's only making 10 mil with Washington right now. If we waved 13-14 mil at him, he might bite.

Except he is the only premier 1B on the market this year. 1B is a prime position

What premier teams have holes at 1B and are they willing to overpay?
