Considering this is Dunn's first full year at first base, you have to cut him some slack. First base isn't just catching everything thrown at you, he's still making adjustments.

But Dunn isn't there for his fielding, he's there to hit the ball. He might be in a slump, he's still in the NL Top 10 as far as Slugging Pct, On Base + Slugging, Home Runs, Extra Base Hits and Total Bases. All things you want your cleanup hitter doing.

Morse has started all of 10 games at First Base in his career. To say he'll do better at First than Dunn would is incredibly far fetched. As well as the claim that he sees and hits the ball much better than Dunn does. Morse is a career utility player, nothing more.
