Yep, but RBIs don't tell the whole picture.
I'm a bit fan of Win Probability Added for something like MVP

Ortiz, Jeter and Dye all beat Morneau who barely edges out Hafner.
If one prefers Win Shares Morneau comes in fifth.
He is also beaten by guys who play tougher positions on teams that won as many games.

A few weeks ago I launched my own blog about Seattle Sounders FC and Life in Puget Sound. I won't be by these parts often as my focus has changed. Sorry about the unannounced retirement.
