I figure this thread is an appopriate place to put this:

Code:

	PA	AVG/OBP/SLG	OPS	RBI
Votto	459	341/477/573	1.051	55
Howard	292	219/295/423	 .718	56

	PA	PA_ROB	R1	R2	R3	ROB%	OBI	OBI%
Votto	459	204	139	76	40	44.4%	41	16.1%
Howard	292	150	101	72	42	51.4%	42	19.5%

In 167 fewer PA, Ryan Howard has 1 more RBI than Votto. Now, to be fair, Howard has converted more of his RBI opportunities than Votto has, but just look at the opportunities. In those 167 extra PA, Votto has had 2 fewer PA with a guy on 3B and just 4 more with a guy on 2B.

If you want to know why this offense has sputtered, look no further than the historically bad performances from the guys batting ahead of our most productive hitters.

Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
