i don't believe it is garbage...sure it is imperfect... probably works better as a ratio stat, but all stats work better as a ratio....


Until scoring runs becomes bad in baseball, its a great stat, its no coincidence that all the best hitters in the game typically lead the league in RBIs'

Im sure there are outliers to every single stat that exists in baseball, even the more current analytical measures

When Rajai Davis and Devin Mesorasco start ranking in the Top 10 in RBI's, Ill reconsider, but right now year in and year out Im seeing some of the best hitters in the game driving in the most runs, just dont buy thats because of "other" players being on base.....The good ones drive them in, the bad ones simply dont

RBI = run batted in, or, runs batted in
RBIs = runs batted ins, or run batted ins. One is both dumbassery and redundant. The other is just dumbassery.

carter never had an OPS over .849.

i always considered him a one swing pony. that HR. infamous.

outside of that he was a .771 OPS guy who drove in runs.

I would love to have seen Carter put up Mantle's stats playing hungover or high every game.

It would be a lot better if you cite how they've hit with men on/RISP.
I've never been a fan of the RISP definition. It should be ROB (runner on base). Many times a double scores a runner on first. That counts as an RBI, but is not counted is a hit with RISP.
