OPS is not as important as OBP for the Red Soxs philosophy on hitting statistics and scouting
Theo Epstein
Billy Beane
these guys are ALL about OBP when scouting

I know you're just a stupid Redsox fan so you don't understand what OPS is or about the book moneyball or you pretend to know.

Like my colleague Trevor Freeman, Michael Lewis' Moneyball is one of my favorite books. For any baseball fan, the inside story of Billy Beane's quest to change traditional thinking and manage a baseball team based entirely on analyzing statistics and turning the conventional wisdom upside down is a fascinating read. Looking at the 2006 season up to this point, I have chosen a 25-man American League All-Star team that accomplishes the major goals of any team driven by a Moneyball philosophy.
In no particular order, these goals are:
1. Find players who get on base (high on-base percentage, or OBP) and hit for some power (the combination of the two produces a high on-base plus slugging, or OPS, the golden statistic of Moneyball).
2. Pay no attention to fielding statistics.
3. Spend as little money as possible.
Yanks will be back next year and kick some ass. The redsox aren't doing shit without Manny in the playoffs. Ortiz by the way is broken down version of himself and it's time to stick a fork in him.
I always get on base, and I usually don't stop at first. Gotta love roofies.
i kid! i kid!

don't be so angry bro
relax
and don't call me a stupid RedSox fan, I find it insulting since ANYONE can vouch for me here that I am the farthest thing from a homer.
I was wrong about Beanes WHOLE philosophy, OBP is still top on his list of players strengths
