Kaplan has reminded listeners of Dunn's wish to play here several times.
And, oh boy...

I believe this belongs in the Ibanez thread.

Yeah I posted that he said this a couple weeks ago... Kap said, "Dunn's begging the Cubs to sign him". And we still haven't heard a single thing about the Cubs actually being interested in him. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

I think I have changed my stance on this, and would be okay with him being a Cub. I would rather the Cubs sign Bradley, but who can resist someone who compares so favorably to baseball greats? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]
Anyways, there could be worse RFers for the Cubs.

Yeah he would be the best one we have had since Sammy, no doubt in my mind about that, his defense would suck complete ass, but he would be better than Jock, Floyd or Fuk.
I think Bradley and Abreu are better fits for this team though and better RFers.

I remember a guy named Thome practically begging the Cubs to sign him. And he was much better. Forget Dunn.

No wonder he is begging to wear pinstripes...
Career Numbers at Wrigley:
60 games
23 Homers in 217 at bats
.419 OBP
And besides numbers, can you remember a game against us where he didn't reach Sheffield?
I hate my pretentious sounding username too.

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->According to David Kaplan of WGN Radio and Comcast SportsNet, Adam Dunn's first choice is to play for the Cubs. <b>He's not looking for a huge deal, but a fair one.</b> The concern, of course, would be having Dunn play right field on a regular basis.
A source familiar with the team's thinking told MLBTR the Cubs have "exchanged pleasantries" with Dunn's agents, nothing more. It's been suggested that Milton Bradley is the Cubs' first choice.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
At least we know he'd come cheaper than the other guys.

The difference having a great defensive outfield and horrible one is easily outweighed by Dunn's offensive abilities. For the 1-2 games he may cost us, he'd make up for that with his bat.
I got nothin'.

I think it would flat out awesome if we got him provided we can't get Bradley or Abreu. He'd come cheaper and would instantly upgrade the lineup. I still think he is vastly overrated by the Sabrenuts of the world, but to think he wouldn't improve the team is silly.
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

I would think that Dunn is still going to cost more than Bradley.
