Yes. He had a .331 average with RISP and drove in 64 of those runs with RISP.

You just pointed out why RBIs are not the best stat to evaluate a player.

Do you think Ryan Howard would have so many RBI if Rollins and Utley weren't hitting in fornt opf him. Put Howard in San Fran's lineup and see how many RBIs he would have had.

i bet he'd still drive in 120 runs. run producers drive in runs no matter who bats before them or after them. rbi are more than a team stat.

Exactly...I'm no fan of Adam Dunn, but RBIs are not a team stat.

While great offensive teams do provide more opportunities, the true clutch hitters still find a way.

Now...let's find a way to beat the everlovin' drippy out of Rubage.
