Here are two major league outfielders who both play in the AL, both are 10 year veterans, both make way over 10 million per year, and both absolutely suck.
Player 1: 280/389/497, 204 career homres, positive UZR
Player 2: 281/330/474, 187 career homers. 2nd worst UZR in baseball this year
Try to guess who these two players are without looking up stats. Player 1 at least seems like a decent player, but he is not. Both have been stealing money hand over fist their entire careers.

2-vernon wells(Dunn has over 300 homers...and has the worst UZR)
you were closer than DME
Vernon Wells has the worst UZR and Adam Dunn has the second worst

I thought your nickname was the Bright One because you knew all? Hmm
However, I obviously only looked at the UZR and overlooked the whole "AL" "career homers" and "batting average above .280 and OBP under .400" thing
But I did know Dunn has the 2nd worst UZR, granted it's only buy .01, but still...
Also, J.D. Drew has a career OBP close to .400, how is he bad!? Plus positive UZR! Seriously, you're starting to sound like DME with your unnecessary hatred towards J.D. Drew. Drew is 22nd in the MLB in BB and 13th in BB%. Sure he's got a fairly low OBP THIS YEAR, but the guys got a great skill at drawing walks, getting on base, has a little pop, and doesn't hurt the team defensively. Sure he's no superstar Pujols, or even Morneau, but seriously, don't be hatin'
you forgot the fact that Drew plays less often than milton bradley. And only plays well in contract years(one year in atlanta and last season in LA)
First off, i made my guesses with NO aid of the internet. Secondly, i think i made two fine guesses, given only the slash line and bad OF defense information.
I guessed Magglio and Vernon Wells. I got one right.
