Did I ever say RBIs are the best stat to evaluate a player by? No.

I said I was a big believer in RBIs. I think it's a good rule thumb. If I'm comparing a pool of players to determine the best offensive player of the bunch, I'm going to look at OPS first and then RBIs.

Despite the fact that some players play on terrible teams, they can still get something done. We've been talking about Ibanez, the guy played on a 61 win team for crying out loud and he managed to get 110 RBIs.

Again, I'll repeat myself: RBIs are no the be-all-end-all. They are great for getting a general evaluation for a player.

On SOI 1.0 you said that you considered RBIs to be the single most important hitting stat. True story.

You're purposely taking that out of context. I was saying that in reference to the MVP comparison.
