Why??? Because RBI's is a real stat that measures real production. Goes back to the old question, who is more valuable a player that hits a solo homerun and strikes out with the bases loaded or a player that hits a grand slam and strikes out with the bases empty, VORP has them even. Non Vorpers would rate the GS hitter higher.
