Reggie was a much better player than Dunn and a legit hall of famer. Reggie suffered from the double whammy of playing in a terrible hitters era as well as playing in one of the worst hitters parks in baseball for much of his career. When he was young he was an outstanding baserunner and a pretty good outfielder w/a strong arm. He was also one of the smarter players around.

It's surely not a perfect system but if you go baseball-reference.com and use the neutralize stats feature you can see what he might have done in an average offensive era. The numbers are fantastic and they don't even adjust for the stadiums he hit in.
