Art,

I looked up Howard's batting records and he is way better than Dunn, as having
Dunn on a team is not bad at all, but Howard deserved to be on the All Star
rosters he was on.

Howard did have several years of 290 plus batting. I had no idea.

Maybe Dunn might still get into the line up.

Mike

I've seen both guys play ... and Adam Dunn is NOWHERE CLOSE to the
ballplayer Frank Howard was.
