Ryno was a heck of a fielder, but he was a lightweight at the plate.

Why do you say that? He finished in the top 10 in the league in slugging percentage five times. Not too many second basemen do that.

He hit 100 RBIs or more exactly twice, in 1990 and '91, when he had exactly 100 both years, and that was despite having 40 home runs in the juiceball year of 1990. Compare that to, say, Ernie Banks, who had 100 or more RBIs eight times, had twice as many career home runs as Ryno and 600 more RBIs, had a career slugging pct. of .500 versus Ryno's .452. And Ernie had a fielding pct of .986 to boot. Banks was the complete package - Ryno wasn't. IMO, of course ;)
