The OPS thing is getting absurdly out of control on this board. Yes, it'd be great if every starter put up a 900 OPS or better. I'd love to have every Cub get on base 40% of the time and SLG 500. But that's incredibly unrealistic. The bottom line is that Ryan Theriot doesn't need to hit for power to be a good player. When his OBP is 11th out of 28 qualifiers, that's good enough for me at the SS position. Any pop from him is a bonus. If he were our cleanup hitter, I'd be bitching about his lack of power too. But he hits second. It's hit job to get on base, and get runners over. And he's good at each of those. People seriously need to stop citing his OPS and calling him below average. The guy hits .280 and has a 350 OBP. That's solid production for your number two hitter. And if you want to be honest when looking at his production, factor his SB's into his SLG%. I'd be willing to bet that when doing so (which is completely legit), he's right around the middle of the pack in terms of SLG from the SS position.
