Robinson Cano vs. Dustin Pedroia

Anyone who judges a player on RBI's should be brought out behind their local Wal-Mart and shot.

You realize a player could bat .694 with 78 homers and have 79 RBI's right? Or the exact opposite..you could have a player bat .220 and have 130 RBIs.

Pedroia showed something last night with that performance.

That the other 600 plate appearance before where he was just as good were not a fluke.

I don't remember where I said that. Maybe I'm just forgetful.

There's a difference between doing it in the regular season and doing it in the postseason (see A-ROD). Also, didnt Dustin have 0 RBI going into the series. I know you are about the rate stats and Dustin is a leadoff guy but still driving in runs in the playoffs is more important to me than his OPS.

You didn't say it; I did.

He's been this good all season long is the point I was making.

I am going to go with Cano. He is definitely the better hitter and will hit for a high average and will be good for 20-25 HRs every year. The knock on Cano is his defense which when he debuted, was sub par. Since then though he has really worked on his glove and I can say is one of the top defensive 2b today. He is just so fluid in his motions and has great range.

I'll take the player with more RBIs thanks. Better with RISP = more RBIs = more runs = more wins.

Ruben Sierra, 1993: 101 RBI, .678 OPS
Barry Bonds, 2004: 101 RBI, 1.421 OPS

Same player?

No Ruben Sierra was a beast!

Sierra > Bonds

I love when people take extremes and try to argue that they are the norm. Love it.
