I'm not sure what you mean here.
I'm a firm believer in RBIs. I know RBIs are dependent on players getting on ahead, and also the baserunning ability of those players. But, I think RBIs usually will separate the players when compared. It's not a be all end all, but I think it's a good rule of thumb.
I think it's certainly a better measuring stick then HRs.
In regards to Dunn, I do like the fact that he gets on base a whole lot. I guess I would like him a little more if he was actually an intelligent and/or fast base runner.
Most of my argument by the way wasn't that adding Dunn wouldn't benefit the team. It's just that he would frustrate the fuck out of just about everyone here and when it came to the playoffs, I'm not very confident in what he could do for us.
