I'm inclined to agree with you, but the problem is assigning the relative values.

How many homers is 10 RBIs worth, or 12 RBIs, or 15, or 20? How many points of batting average is 5 homers worth, or 6, or 7, or 8, etc., etc., etc., etc.....

DJ leads you by 6 RBIs. You lead him by 35 points in average.

Which is worth more?

The 35 points in average?

OK....suppose it was 34 points? How about 33? or 32?

How many RBIs is that 35 points of average worth?

Suppose he led you by 7 RBIs? Or 8? Or 9?

How many RBIs offset 35 points in average?

There's an awful lot of possibilities here - tens of thousands, realistically, I'd guess.
