Default Re: Omar Vizquel- HOF worthy?

I'd like to see your case for Ozzie being a much better hitter "in context." OPS+ doesn't bear that out.

1) OBP is not weighted properly by OPS. More of Ozzie's OPS came from OBP, and he was better in relation to the league.
2) Ozzie was a much better baserunner.

Meh. The baserunning is true, but Omar has a higher career OBP (although Smith's was a tad bit better compared to the league). Smith has an edge, but it is much smaller than you made it sound.
