Bradley has the most talent, but is the least likely to stay on the field. <b>Abreu and Ibanez are terrible fielders, worse than Dunn</b>.
Dunn is by far the youngest, and has been the most durable. He plays 160 games pretty much every year. He's also lost 20 lbs. and begged the Cubs to consider him.

But since he's not coming here, I'll turn my attention to MBradley. He's gonna be fun to watch. He's a fucking great player. He's cheaper than Fuk! I'm excited to see him in the middle of the order.

Just one question: who's going to start the other 60 games in RF?

Not even close.

I don't know about Abreu, but Ibanez is supposedly a complete butcher.

Ibanez isn't very good, but he at least has 30 assists in the last 3 seasons. Abreu's still okay, just afraid of the wall. Dunn's on another level.

yeah, but assists don't mean shit. If they do, then "bunny hop" Soriano is pretty good.

You can have a great arm and still be a butcher.

Like I said, Ibanez isn't very good, he's still better than Dunn.

Ibanez's last 3 years in the outfield:

2006- 2 errors in 314 chances, 994 fielding percentage.
2007- 6 errors in 240 chances, .975 fielding percentage.
2008- 5 errors in 316 chances, .984 fielding percentage.

Dunn's last 3 years in the outfield:
2006- 7 errors in 298 chances, .960 fielding percentage.
2007- 6 errors in 254 chances, .976 fielding percentage.
2008- 8 errors in 252 chances, .968 fielding percentage in left field, .967 in right field.

Career:
Ibanez- .987 in LF, .985 in RF
Dunn- .969 in LF, .963 in RF

And the sad thing is those are just on the plays Dunn can get to. If we want to bring range into it, and add in Ibanez's arm in comparison, it's really not close.
