Comparing Howard and Dunn is interesting. Howard has a very nice average but his OBP is slightly under Dunns (.360 to .376 respectively) but the more telling stat is the Runs I think. Dunn may not hit the signle as well as Howard but his ability to get on base is showing him to be more valuable as a run on the scoreboard than Howard is.

Still, I'd like to see Dunn spray it like Howard does. The shot to the opposite field is a thing of beauty.
