With only 8 teams you have to go with Dunn. Bruce is nice but you will be able to get him back in the draft and you just can't be sure what you are going to get with him. He is still very young and so he is bound to have more growing pains. Where as you pretty much know what you are going to get with Dunn.

Dunn
He once hit a ball between my legs so hard that my center-fielder caught it on the fly backing up against the wall.

If Satch (Paige) and I were pitching on the same team, we would clinch the pennant by July fourth and go fishing until World Series time.

Dunn is the way to go. Guy has his 40HR for the last few years, and at age 29, you can expect him to hit 40 for the next few seasons. Just get a few high average guys to counter his .240-.260avg and you will be in good shape.

Dunn over Bruce over Andre. Although with only 8 teams I'd expect you to have better choices that that.

I think I'd take a chance with Bruce. You already have a major power source in Howard. He also hurts you in batting average. With Dunn your average is really taking a hit. With the size of the league, you'll have plenty of time to get more power.
It's a gamble taking Bruce, but I think it could pay off . He's a top prospect with very high upside.
If you don't like taking chances, then take Dunn. As was mentioned , you pretty much know what you're getting.
