Thats an easy one. All else equal, I'd take the dude with 120 RBIs. There's something to be said of batting average with runners in scoring position. sure, there needs to be people on base...but what good is a .OBP-.500 guy that hits below .100 with runners in scoring position? (exaggeration, i know, but I hope you get my point)

On the corpse. My question is...
No, my question. I get to go first. Why in pluperfect hell would you pee on corpse?
