Predicting RBI

My latest column at SportingNews.com looks at a way to predict RBI, taking into consideration the ability of the players batting in front of the power hitter to drive in runs.

One thing that amazed me during the writing was how much Jeff Francoeur hurt the Braves this season. The Braves have only been outscored 612-590; they should be around a .500 team, not a .435 team. With any kind of decent power from Francoeur, the Braves likely add 30 runs. With all the one-run losses, those 30 runs could be huge. Instead of looking to build a team for next year, they'd likely be in the Marlins spot, on the edge of the playoff race.
