Dunn is an intimidating presence to have in your lineup. We've seen the effect that Vidro has had on opposing teams' pitching strategies since his return. With a healthy Johnson and the addition of Dunn, there will be fewer opportunities for managers to pitch around the heart of our batting order. Kearns remains a project. There's no time for that now with the division title staring before us. From here on in, we should only acquire players who will make a significant impact to our pennant hopes.
