quandavid,
too long to read, but a couple points. i know dunn's number has been skewed toward the GAB for the past few years but this year his number has actually been better on the road. also did you say walking is a bad thing? that's like the saying i heard when jd drew was playing for the dodgers, him taking walks is "selfish"...i think ted williams was called that also...which is laughable.
the last time i checked dunn was #1 in MLB OF in homeruns and walks, and he's up there OBP and slugging. his defense is putrid, but he's what i would consider the opposite of a "joke" or "bad" at major league baseball. you can send him to our dodgers and we'll give you juan pierre, gold glover andruw jones, and derek lowe.
i think i also read somewhere the average distance of his hrs is at least top 3 or 5 in baseball, so they're legit hrs anywhere not just the bandboxes that the NL central teams play in.
