Stat

Interesting stat from Stark's column today...
Especially interesting is Morneau's numbers:


Stat of the week
Here's our latest brainstorm for illustrating how RBIs are overrated -- a new stat concoction we're calling Runs NOT Batted In (RNBI).
To compute it, you start with number of runners on base when a hitter bats, subtract the number of those runners knocked in and compute how many of those runners each hitter didn't drive in.
The leaderboard, through Aug. 26 (data from baseballprospectus.com):
HITTER RUNNERS DRIVEN IN RNBI
Garrett Atkins 434 64 370
Justin Morneau 439 82 357
Troy Glaus 415 63 352
David Wright 423 75 348
Jeff Francoeur 393 49 344
