On Dunn's motivation: hasn't the recent trend been that players are extremely excited at the potential of coming to the Cubs and really motivated once they get here? Also, wouldn't playing for the shitty Reds for 7 and a half years make anyone question their desire to play? Unless he really is just flat out lazy, I think we wouldn't have a problem with his motivation for the Cubs. Imagine if he really was unmotivated his last couple years in Cincy and imagine the numbers he could put up in Wrigley if he's completely engaged. It could be ridiculous.
If Angelo had picked McClellin, I would have been expecting to hear by training camp that kid has stage 4 cancer, is actually 5'2" 142 lbs, is a chick who played in a 7 - 0 defensive scheme who only rotated in on downs which were 3 and 34 yds + so is not expecting to play a down in the NFL until the sex change is complete and she puts on another 100 lbs. + but this is Emery's first pick so he'll get a pass with a bit of questioning. - 1060Ivy
