I guess I can see both arguments. On the one hand VORP is a better measure of who is the better hitter. The one most likely to produce. On the other hand, HR and RBI are more "real". They represent actual production to which one can bear witness in a more tangible way. I think that's why people are turned off by Sabermetrics. It's strictly for wonks. I mean, when I think of the people who come up with these formulas, I see a lot of Captain Kirk posters on the wall, if you know what I mean. I'll bet most of these guys have never seen a real girl naked. And that's just sad...
