Re: 1990 Reds offense

693 runs in 2008 would've put us 13th in the NL. In 1990 it put us 5th. The difference in league-wide offensive production in 1990 vs 2008 is pretty stark. The average NL team scored 735 runs in 2008 compared to just 680 in in 1990.

Code:
	Total	'90 rank	'08 rank
Runs	693	5th		13th
AVG	.265	1st		5th
OBP	.322	4th		13th
SLG	.399	3rd		13th
OPS	.721	3rd		13th
