Just my two cents...
RBI - rather useless tool in player evaluation. It is possible to have an otherwise mediocre, even terrible, offensive season and still get over 100 RBI's. The player just has to be in the right team context and stay healthy to rack up that many. (example - what decent hitter would not have gotten 100+ RBI's on the 2004 Red Sox if hitting in Manny Ramirez's spot?)
catchers - there is no objective, statistical evidence that catchers have any noticable impact on pitcher performance.
Yes, I'm a Baseball Prospectus junkie.
