OPS

For the past week, I keep seeing references to Kenny Kelly's AAA OPS of .822

And in all of them, it is used to conclude Kelly won't be any good.

.822 is a good OPS. If there is some data to suggest that it is bad post-supplimentation, then state it.

If there are serious questions about whether Kelly can hit major league pitching (and there are), then use that as the basis ot advise his permanent residnece in the free agent pool.

But to use a statistic which is good, much less one that must be reevaluated given the new steroid policy, is laziness at its best.
