Dunn may be extreme, but I disagree that he wouldn't work as a team of Adam Dunns. You can't win with a team of Dave Kingman because its all solo HRs. But with the OBP, a team of Adam Dunns scores 5+ runs a game. (Not talking defense here obviously).
Speaking of......Kingman and Robin Yount both had an OPS+ of 115. Does that sound right?
During Yount's 10 year peak, his OPS+ was 135. Kingman's was 120. Yount's longevity helped him made the HOF, but hurts him with rate stats.
That really doesn't answer the question.
OK.
No, it doesn't sound right. To make any judgement based on only 1 stat is foolish.
I will say this - Bernie's peak was better than anything Monday did. Bernie was a better player. Monday got better when relegated to part time duty late in his career, as odd as that sounds. A small concession for you. That said, Monday was closer to Bernie than Bernie was to Edgar, offensively.
Bernie's 6 year peak - a 146 OPS+. Damn good.
