Hits is an overrated stat. Any player can get a hit, it's what you do when you after that hit that makes a difference. RBI's are an important way to judge a player's ability with runners in scoring position. If a player has 150 hits and a BA over .300, but only has 20 RBI that means that he does not do well with runners in scoring position. If your down by 1 with the bases loaded, 2 outs, and its an important playoff game I would want the guy with over 100 RBI rather than a guy who has a lot of hits.
