Obviously, he doesn't have much of a body of work, but I'd compare him to Reggie Jackson before any of those guys.

Reggie knew how to draw a walk once in a while.

It is too soon to compare to anyone, and as it pertains to drawing a walk -- who is going to move him around the bases? Reggie had Soderholm, Randolph, Watson, Winfield, Mumphrey, Murcer, etc. I'd rather Abreu do it himself as opposed to waiting for Alexei or Conor to drive him in.

of course its too soon, but that's what makes it interesting. As far as I can tell there's never been anyone who's been able to maintain that combination of k/bb ratio, power, and average. We'll see if he's the unique one or if something changes.

considered those guys but abreu's K/BB rate is much worse. plus they were roided to the gills which i'm not sure means anything or not.

Once Dunn is gone or goes into the toilet (whichever comes first), his walks will increase when people pitch around him.

Kingman was my guy! There was no love loss in the front office there.
