will they move Dunn back to LF and have Hatte play 1B or keep Hatte as a reserve and let Freel play OF with Dunn at 1B

Dunn is going back to the OF. The Reds are much better on defense that way. Wily Mo is horrible in the field, and Dunn is not the best defensive first baseman. Hatte is a solid fielder and a decent bat, similar to Casey. But most importantly the Reds got a much needed workhorse pitcher. If Milton can turn it around this season, the Reds have a shot at the Playoffs.
