In response to "this is beyond the pale -- nm" by crash davis

See TFox for context. It's true. RBI's are nice, but they're not important.

not in individual player evaltuation.

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
