But in this particular argument, people love Pod because he can steal bases and run fast, which makes him more likely to score runs, but he's outdone by a slow beast of a man who stole four bases all year. Also, in this particular argument, we're talking about a lead-off man (Podsednik) vs. a clean-up man (Dunn) and Dunn has more runs than Podsednik, largely because he drove himself in 40 times...it's just insane for anyone to think that Podsednik is a more valuable player than Dunn.Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11889169796759342598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27400569.post-1146976173672977012006-05-06T23:29:00.000-05:002006-05-06T23:29:00.000-05:00Solid post man, but be careful when you bring Runs...Solid post man, but be careful when you bring Runs Scored into a stats argument. It's kind of a sticky statistic because the player really has no influence on his own accounting for runs scored.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01547108094270238761noreply@blogger.com
