He won't get 100 RBI. I'm amazed he even has 98.

[Hollyw00d]

If he has 100 RBI with as low of a batting average and obp as he has, that means he has left a ton of runners on base as well.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

Trout and his .420 OBP is a big reason why he has close to 100 RBI's.

Another example of why RBI's don't mean jack (in comparison to other players)

Leads the team in home runs and rbis. MVP of the angels

Good call fatass.

[Count Orlok]

Adam Dunn. Too bad he didn't have 4 more RBI last year to get 100 with a .204 average. Of course he also walks about 100 times a year.

[Angel Oracle]

He CHOKED with Hamilton on 3rd in the 9th!

The central reason. RBIs really should simply be ignored unless you are a fantasy baseball person.

[Angel Oracle]

Okay, until about 9:00pm I had no idea that a foul ball had hit him while on deck, as mentioned earlier it was a busy evening for me. After I found that out, I was surprised that he did appear back in the game.

Under that circumstance, of course I would take back that statement I made earlier.

[arch stanton]

He's made small improvements year to year. Could be in line for a nice spike in age 29 season. I wouldn't give up on him just yet.

Not even close. Trumbo has a career OBP under .300. Mac had a career OBP 100 points higher, and never had a season under .300, even in the years his batting average was .187 (2001) and .201 (1991). Trumbo is really like Rob Deer.

[Inside Pitch]

Rob Deer

 

 

Rob Deer actually walked.  

 

Deer posted an OBP  100 points higher than his batting average for his career,  if Trumbo could do that he'd actually be a really strong player.  Mark hits for a better average then Deer did but he's less patient.

 

Chris Ianetta and Mark Trumbo each managed a 109 OPS+ so far this year.

What's Trumbo's OPS+ for 1bs?

Out of 25 1st basemen he ranks 18nth in OPS.

His wOBA, wRC+ and every other advanced offensive metric worth tracking all puts him in that same 17-19 range;  

 

Some people just really dig the long ball.

[SoWhat]

As much as everyone wants to discredit RBI, driving in 100 will increase his trade value.

Sorry but .... that's a load of crap you're preaching.
