batting average is at least mildly important when dealing with RISP. I also never put a value on it, I said those numbers hurt, aren't good, and a jump in your #4 hitter with RISP can make a difference. he was 4th among our starters in OPS with RISP? and that's supposed to be a good thing? Freeman was always on base for him which gave him opps.
him hitting .280 with RISP could have won a few more games. he wasn't all that good in those situations over two years.
