Pitch F/X calls the edges nicely, but not top or bottom, which should vary by rule for each batter, but the Pitch F/x system seems locked at some average size strike zone.
They're paying Dunn 12 million this year and while I believe they would pay that much for a starter of JJ's caliber, as you asked, I doubt they would pay both Dunn AND JJ at this point in time. I'm only basing that on their 4 year history with the Nationals. The one thing to consider is that we have 20 million coming off the books again this year when you figure in Guzman's and Dunn's expiring contracts. Of course it would be wise for them to use most of that to re-sign Dunn. Dunn can try to test the FA market and see if he can get 20 million after Howard's deal but I see no way in the world he gets it. I could be wrong on that but I just don't see it. But if they ink him to a reasonable extension that should still leave some money to use towards improving the team without even exceeding this year's salary number! But at some point they have to increase that number, at least I hope so.
Too bad, Cody Ross almost screws up big time.
Breakdown on Johnson contract;He gets $3.75 million this year, $7.75 million in 2011 and $13.75 million in each of the following two seasons.

There you go Spider. Lerners can trade him for prospects in winter '11
They'll trade him before the $13.75 years kick in.
Lannan is damaged goods now. Trade him for something.
you can't freaking hit brett freakin carroll than walk freakin cameron maybin ... that's bad lannan.
HBP, BB, bomb... look on the bright side, maybe he's not better than you after all!
Lannan has only been considered more than a 4th starter by SF, hammonds and a few others around here.
second out ... nothing but a loud out
