I didn't say he'd become Adam Dunn.

I just think his numbers will tumble back to good levels, not great.

What's your issue here? The money aspect? Or that he doesn't improve the lineup?

Of course he's aging. And of course it will be a terrible contract eventually. That's basically the price you pay when you are trying to milk the last few great years out of a player; you're going to be paying a lot of money for a mediocre player one day.

Another thing- people act like being an Adam Dunn player is terrible. 40 HR with a high OBP trumps a bad BA and a bad contact rate. If that player is "worth it" is arbitrary.

And for the 4th time, LA was more hitter friendly than Arlington last season!!!
