This is actually one of my biggest gripes about OPS+, not that there shouldn't be some adjustment based on the ballpark you play in, but I think they go WAY overboard in the OPS+ formula. You really think an .870 OPS in Boston is the same value as an .815 OPS in Seattle just because a player plays half his games in that ballpark? Seems pretty overboard to me.
