And that to me points out the flaws of VORP and RC. At least to the level of taking any importance out of it. Which OOTP MVP votes seem to. There is no way a solo job is as important as grandslam.

Personally, if we are going to place importance on "lesser" stats. It should be say what they do in Close/Late situations.
