Re: Player A or Player B
As much as I hate the stat...
w/RISP Dunn: .184/.340/.605 -- .945 OPS Encarnacion: .300/.404/.625 -- 1.029 Sample size problems abound here. But the real point is that If Dunn got the same pitches to hit that Encarnacion did, you'd see a higher BA w/ RISP. He doesn't get anything to hit, because when does hit it, he kills the ball. When he tries to be more aggressive (as Marty suggested last night), he simply swings at pitches that he can't hit well, and strikes out or hits a ball poorly and gets out instead of walking. The REAL point should be that both are proving to be great offensive players. You don't have to choose just one. We've got both and should enjoy it.

Runs scored w/o RISP are worth just as much as runs scored w/RISP.

Re: Player A or Player B
.963 OPS for a slumping player. Not bad. Yet, he's still the biggest problem on the team.

No. The "keys" to baseball is scoring more runs than your opponent. Adam Dunn helps the Reds do that by getting on base and having lots of power. It's irrefutable.

What he does is create runs. I don't care how he does it, just that he does it.
