Consider this: Jeff Francouer had 71 RBIs last year. - David Oct 23, 11:07 3
- yeah, but that gap between 71 RBIs and 108 RBIs is important, it tells you something right there -- nm - crash davis Oct 23, 11:10 2
  - Only when placed in that context. Otherwise, you just hear "71 RBIs" and think he was rather productive. -- nm - David Oct 23, 11:12 1
    - I think 100+ is great, 90 is productive, 80 okay, 70 is a second baseman -- nm - crash davis Oct 23, 11:13
See TFox for context. It's true. RBI's are nice, but they're not important. - musubiafraidofthingsthatgobumpinthenight Oct 23, 11:06 8
- how about batting avg. with runners on base? is that important? - crash davis Oct 23, 11:08 7
  - Way more important than RBI's but still pretty random. - musubiafraidofthingsthatgobumpinthenight Oct 23, 11:11
  - OPS is the one true stat, Crash. Learn to love it. -- nm - David Oct 23, 11:11 5
    - OPS is still flawed. It's the best shorthand stat, but weighted on-base average is a better all-in-one offensive stat, imo. (nm) - musubiafraidofthingsthatgobumpinthenight Oct 23, 11:13
    - tell moose that, and then tell him that players with a certain career OPS level should be in the hall of fame -- nm - crash davis Oct 23, 11:12 3
      - How am I going to reason with Moose? Did you see the ARod nonsense last night? And now he's talking up JD Drew, for God's sake. -- nm - David Oct 23, 11:19 1
        
        no, I didn't see anything about ARod -- nm - crash davis Oct 23, 11:20
      - Nah, OPS only considers offense and isn't league-context dependent. (nm) - musubiafraidofthingsthatgobumpinthenight Oct 23, 11:17
