Talk about a misleading stat. And how about Maggs? Two DPs with the bases juiced? Seems to me those runner's stranded could/should be a lot higher. Here's the new stat (I'll see if I can calculate a couple if time allows this weekend): (Runs Scored + RBIs) - LOB = Runs Actually Produced (RAP). It's the baseball equivalent to hockey's +/-.
