I have admitted in the past, I wasn't thrilled that the Nats went after Dunn.  The defense is horrifying at times, but I like the other things he brings to the team (OBP and HRs).  No one can deny that he has increased the production of an offense that was beyond ugly last year.

He protects Zimmerman, he gives other guys a lot of RBI opportunities w/ his high OBP, he makes pitchers throw a lot pitches, and he hits massive homers (which does get to some pitchers' heads). He's not a superstar, but he is a good overall player. He's not Jesus, though.
