Runs produced is a fairly simple statistic. You add a players runs scored and rbi and then subtract Home Runs. James Beresford scored 58 runs and had 50 rbi. He had 1 Home Run this year. 58+50=108 subtract 1 Home Run=107 Runs produced. Adam Brett Walker had 75 runs and had 106 rbi. He had 31 Home Runs this year. 75+106=181 subtract 31 Home Runs=150 Runs produced. I understand you place a big emphasis on strikeouts but Miguel Sano would be on pace to strikeout 225 times in a typical 500 at bat season! That is a ton of strikeouts yet he's having a productive year!

I agree with TNLooky. James Beresford produced 107 runs this year, Adam Brett Walker produced 150 runs! Runs are what win ball games! The most productive hitter in Twins history is Harmon Killebrew with a lifetime batting average of .256! Also Adam Brett Walker was 2nd in Slugging Percentage in the Southern League behind Kepler. Most major league MVP's have a high Slugging Percentage!
