Schofield in RBI
Schofield is a decent, but not great, player in RBI. His stats are actually quite impressive. The 861 power is only a few points lower than Wally Joyner, but most everyone would agree that Joyner is a much more dangerous hitter. Schofield lacks consistency, which is why he is nicknamed the X-Factor. When Schofield is on, the Angels are very difficult to beat. If he is off, the bottom the California lineup typically suffers.
