That's a much closer approximation of Dunn's value, ORS. I think that Dunn is worth a little more than Teagarden, though, unless there's new medical evidence that Teagarden's past reliability issues are fully resolved.
Beyond that, the Rangers aren't contending...I'd wonder if the Rays would ditch Gabe Gross and offer, as well, a good prospect--perhaps, say, ground-ball AA pitching prospect Wade Davis--for Dunn. Getting Dunn as a DH could give the Rays a real shot at the AL East/Wild Card this season. Davis might survive in Cinci if he could keep getting ground balls.
