I've personally never looked at Dunn as a future HOFer anyway. 500 home runs or not, most of his other stats are plain awful. OBP is decent, but he walked a ton (only 1,600+ career hits). Strikeouts are ridiculous. The two in front of him on the all-time list for strikeouts are Reggie Jackson (HOFer) and Jim Thome (likely HOFer), but those guys played much longer. Thome's numbers are waaaaaay better than Dunn's, too.
He has always seemed so old to me, but he's only 34. I tend to forget that he started younger than most, and playing very mediocre ball over the last few years have left fans (especially in Chicago) wondering when the torture was going to end.
All-in-all though, I wish him the best this last month.
