What do you mean "what I can see"? Most stats are things you can see.

Fangraphs can do a better job explaining why RBIs are terrible than I can:

I can give several examples. But Ill only give one to keep it short:

RISP A runner on 2nd and we always move him to 3rd. Our % of RISP is great. But he doesn't score. What good is that stat?

To be fair, those guys have an axe to grind. They are out to prove that all traditional stats are flawed, and you should look at things like "wOBA" and "wRC+". I'll pass.
