stats are great, but they don't always tell the whole story.
if a player has a .750 ops, you think that he's not all that good. but if his average is .300 and his obp is .400, and he steals 50 bases and is caught 5 times, and he's good at taking extra bases, and scores 120 runs, and drives in 60, and is a good fielder, and a leader, and takes walks, and gives to charity, then isn't it safde to conclude that this player is good and that ops doesn't give you the full picture?
