WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=keri/080805 Good article, gives some really good examples. A couple of more that come to mind for me are Kirk Gibson in 1988 and Eckersley in 1992. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamTell Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 QUOTE (Felix @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 07:24 PM) Justin Morneau. I think Jeter deserved it in 2006. Morneau had Castillo with a .358 OBP, Punto with a .352 OBP, Mauer with a .429 OBP, and Cuddyer with a .362 OBP. Anyone could get RBI's with that on base percentage in front of you.

While I agree he didn't deserve the MVP, I don't think we should fault the guy for having guys who can get on base in front of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it's just an argument that RBIs should not hold any weight against another player with similar stats like SLG%, etc. The only time a player can guarantee an RBI is on a home run.
