I think Jesse Barfield might have a quibble with "the best RF arm of his generation." He did have 154 RF assists, the most of any right fielder from 1975-95, and a reputation as a cannon. Cory Snyder had about the same OA total as Dawson in far less playing time, and he had a great-arm rep, too.

And Dwight Evans had 157 outfield assists, all but 2 in RF, from 1972 through 1991. I bought one season of SOM back during Evans' prime, I forget which year. I don't remember how SOM's system worked in detail but I remember that outfielder arms were rated on a scale, and the maximum possible rating was specified in the rules. I think it was 5, but can't remember for sure. As I recall the arm rating was used to modify the number for determining the outcome of attempts to take extra bases. What I distinctly remember, though, is that whatever the maximum arm rating was according to the rules, Evans' card for that year had a rating that was actually one notch higher than the supposed maximum. If it had been almost any other outfielder I would have automatically assumed it was a typo, but given Evans' reputation I wondered if the SOM folks had just decided that their usual scale didn't give them enough room to rate Evans' arm.
