Is Energy/Chemistry Worth a Damn?

[rok]

So do we throw situational stats out the window? That's where I get lost in these arguments, because there are players out there, even good ones who perform worse than their averages, with men on base than with bases empty. I know that's simplistic, but I like to keep it simple. Sure, Pujols is going to hit well in every situation, but I'd rather talk about the people who aren't stars. The .260-.280 hitters out there who seem to thrive with RISP.
