i hate to say it but I'd keep Bruce over dunn. too much upside there. you can get another 1b in the draft. unless you play him in the OF.

try to trade if you can. package howard and dunn for a stud SS and leser but solid 1b (go after Reyes and A. Gonzalez type of combo).
The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be!

I concur with the posters above. Dunn is Howard with OF eligibility and a worse lineup in Washington. I would take Bruce's upside to be a complete ballpalyer instead, plus the offense around him is slightly better.

Dunn goes rather easily for me.

Bruce, Dunn, and Howard all all BA killers to an extent, so it's definitely not a good idea to keep all 3. Dunn hit's 40 homers and knocks in 100 RBI's like clock work every season and there is no reason to believe a new ball park will change that. So decide whether or not you think Bruce can do that and you'll have your answer. Everyone knows my opinion by now ;)

I agree, I'd leave out Bruce

I can't see Bruce hitting about .270 this year and there's no way he'll approach Dunn's power numbers

roughly .20pts of average isn't worth the 10-15hr 20-30 less RBI
