I never posted any such thing !!! When I post numbers on this forum, I beg you to take my posts with the utmost literal interpretation. Here's what I posted....... RBI is a counting stat. Rate stats are more meaningful. Pierre has driven in 2 of 38 baserunners...... 0.053 Guzman has driven in 1 of 5 baserunner.......0.200 How's that ?
