I wonder if you could get Dunn without coughing up Brandon Morrow?
..............
Speaking of shedding Morrow, we saw that USSM's idea was to swap out Morrow, Lopez, and Jack Wilson for Danks, Orlando Hudson and J.J. Hardy, while signing Nick Johnson.
Leaving aside the 3-for-3 lateral move at SS-2B-SP, it was interesting to see the comments focus on Nick Johnson, who's a perennial health Q. 
There was not a single mention of Adam Dunn that I saw, in 150 comments, despite the fact that Dunn and Scutaro (along with perhaps JJ Hardy) are the most visible M's targets.  I don't know if that's editorial pruning of comments, or Dunn is persona non grata, or what.
Johnson becomes the focus for plans involving the new buzzword "non-defensive DH".  What's with $9M to him as opposed to $10M for somebody who was one of the top 10 hitters in the NL? 
I'm bemused.  :- )  If D-O-V becomes associated with a player, that player becomes persona non grata at the busiest cyber-Seattle sites?   Can't imagine Johnson over Dunn.
