Runs scored is only partly under the control of a player, though, so like RBI I don't really consider them when assessing a player's value. My guess is that these two players are very similar in VORP: the RF is clearly a better hitter, but replacement level in RF is probably quite a bit higher than at 3B. The 3B might even have an advantage in VORP. In that case, you have a conflict between who the best hitter is and who the most valuable hitter is. When I decided on HOY awards, I generally go with the former, unless someone has a significant advantage in VORP.
