how about batting avg. with runners on base? is that important?

I've got an easier way to measure that, RBIs

Responses:

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
