With hindsight:
1. Dunn
2. Abreu (so freaking cheap for just one year)
3. Ibanez
4. Bradley<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
But speaking with the benefit of hindsight is pointless. At the time Bradley looked like the obvious choice. He had just led the A.L in OBP and is a far better defender than any of the other 3. We also didn't know that Abreu could be had for 5 mil. We knew Dunn and Ibanez would be just as expensive if not more than Bradley. He was the right signing IMO.
