Remind me again why no one wanted Adam Dunn?

Because he’s great

 

Ryan Zimmerman and Adam Dunn, Nationals

Achievement: Dunn and Zimmerman became Washington’s first 30-30 homer tandem since Frank Howard and Mike Epstein achieved the feat for the 1969 Senators.

Former Washington GM Jim Bowden was accused of overspending after signing Dunn to a two-year, $20 million deal last winter, but the expenditure looks quite sound in hindsight. Dunn remains an on-base machine, and he’s enjoying life even more now that Arizona’s Mark Reynolds is saddled with all those nagging “Why do you strike out so much?” questions.
