Adam Dunn, Work-A-Holic

Wow, what a guy.

SARASOTA, Fla. -- Adam Dunn showed up at the Ed Smith Stadium Complex Wednesday, well ahead of the Monday reporting date for position players.

And while Dunn would rather be back in Texas fishing - he caught a 9-pound, 2-ounce bass Tuesday - there was work to be done in Florida.

"I wanted to get here so I could work one-on-one with (Chris Chambliss)," Dunn said.

So let's get this straight. Adam Dunn arrives four days early to spring training in SARASOTA, FLORIDA...IN FEBRUARY...TO PLAY BASEBALL...FOR OVER $4 MILLION. Is arriving four days early really a big deal? Is there anyone out there who wouldn't do this for free? Is there anyone out there who wouldn't pay money to do this? I didn't think so.
