The actual difference between .429 and .376 OBP is far greater than .560 and .505 SLG. Simply subtracting the numbers and then comparing isn't the way to do it.
And RBIs = probably the worst way to debate this. About the only thing worse would be comparing length of facial hair or something. RBIs tell as close to nothing as a baseball stat can tell.
Edit: Also, Frank Thomas is a better choice than a good percentage of this list.
