What Baseball Players (Don't) Know About Baseball, Part II

SI Players Poll: "Which individual hitting statistic is the most meaningful?"

Runs Batted In: 41%
On-base percentage: 19%
Batting average: 13%
On-base plus slugging: 11%
Runs: 6%

So in a landslide, MLB players would rather have Julio Lugo (73 RBI) at the plate instead of Derek Jeter (71), Ichiro Suzuki (68), Barry Bonds (66), or Alfonso Soriano (65).
