1. 8 All Stars
2. Power + Speed though he only broke 30 three times, 300+ SB
3. 2700+ Hits

Juan
1. All Star only three times
2. No speed
3. Less than 2000 hits

What Juan has:
1. 19th highest career slugging percentage
2. 15th career AB per Home run

Dawson played 21 years!!!!! Juan 12 that is it! do the math on the avg year for HR and RBI's slug
Dawson .279/22/80 slug .482 ops .806
Gonzalez .295/36/117 slug .561 ops .904 what player would you want on yore team? also Dawson hit 40 hr ONCE! Juan 5 times Dawson had 4 season's of 100+ RBI's Juan 8!
what player would you want!
Dawson had all those knee problems how do you think he played through it! and do not tell me he took nothing to play with that kind of pain! but as Sandberg says they played the natural way,the hide it and sweep it under the rug way!

as far as being an all star? you can stick that in the mud! Larkin made the all team as a starter one year and was batting .238!!! baseball writers have NOOOOO Brains what so ever! nor do most fans! enter the players total stats into a computer and let it choose who goes in the hall, based on what that player does on the field unless he does something real bad! but i have anger issues!
