You prefer the second player because he "produced more runs". I prefer the first player because he's a better hitter. So, yes, agree to disagree.

No I don't, we are talking about MVP stats produced. We are not talking about future production or potential production we are talking about a given universe of stats and comparing them. Your example doesnt work, your guy is .660-3-3 and the other is .200-1-4....who is more valuable...duh. My example was .200-1-1 and .200-1-4 duh!!! According to VORP and RC my guys are equal even though one has 4 times the rbis. Your example is apples and oranges.
