In reply to: WAR has its flaws but so does OPS posted by TheRC

And when one has a higher slugging percentage obviously he’s getting more extra base hits.

Fielding, fine, Grich was a very good fielder in a middle infield position while Frank was a mediocre first baseman and then was a DH.

But I truly don’t think that alone is what should make up the difference in player value when there is such a large difference in offense. My God, Frank had a higher OPS than Willie Mays and Hank Aaron. His OPS is a mere .002 lower than Stan Musial’s.
