Yeah but I'd rather his OPS be OBP-heavy than SLG-heavy. We need guys like him getting on base, not cranking HRs. I agree I would rather have Theriot, who will most likely be batting 2nd the rest of the season, having a OBP strong OPS and not a SLG strong OPS. Theriot's OBP is what .335 right now? I would much prefer he went back to his slap hitting, going to RF, working the count ways and had a OBP around .370-.385 and SLG about .100ish points less. yeah but i don't think you can assume that pitchers are going to keep walking theriot 73 times a year if he is just a singles hitter. yeah. the fact that his OPS is the same as it was last year (thereabouts) is mitigated by the fact that it's buffered by a handful of fluke home runs early in the season. I'm not saying that you can take those HRs from him, but going forward, if all things stay the same, he's going to fall behind last year's numbers.
