No. I would rank Dunn around #10. Bruce would probably be around #20.

 I do place very high value on OPS,  and more than most other people on the on base percentage part of that even more than the slugging. That is why I rank Dunn so high. Dunn's OBP is higher than Pete Rose.

I've tried to think of the big name players starting in the 60's and on up.  (This is obviously going to leave out some guys like Kluszewski, Lombardi, Roush, Bell, Post, etc.)  I'd really have to do some soul searching on each of these guys, but my initial impression is that Dunn wouldn't be in my top 10.

Sean Casey

Austin Kearns

Barry Larkin

Lee May

Joe Morgan
