I like Dunn, but Frank Howard definitely hit for a significantly higher
average. Hondo was in .290s twice with the Nats and once with L.A. His
.274 in '68 -- the year of the pitcher -- ranked in the Top Ten (his
stats for that year in retrospect were astounding). I don't think Dunn
will ever hit over .275, but with all the walks, I'm not complaining.
