A Saber-Slanted Baseball Community

At the instigation of Sky, I added a final piece to my previous posts on Overrated RBI Seasons and Situational Hitting. This time, I look at the career numbers of players since 1955 who have hit more than 1000 and also 500 rbi. Some pretty interesting results... Click away to find the most overrated and underrated RBI Guys of the last 50 years.

This is the first in a two-part series I'm doing using different stats to see just how overrated some "run producers" are by their RBI numbers. It takes its inspiration from Jonah Keri's piece in Baseball Between the Numbers, but uses different (and better) stats -- wOBA/linear weights rather than MLV/VORP. I have some links to some nice "leaderboards" that I put on Google Docs. Next week, I'll revisit the topic using some of FanGraphs more contexual stats.
