So-Called Phil Rogers
Written by wrigleyville   
Saturday, 10 November 2007
Phil Rogers starts today's column on the Cubs and White Sox shortstops with this sentence: No position in baseball is more important than shortstop. Which may or may not be true. Some would argue the most important position is the pitcher. Others would argue the catcher. Others still might say something else. Whatever. Today, we are not debating who is most important. Rather, we are here to behold the grammatical arrogance of Phil Rogers. Among 26 shortstops who played enough to qualify for a batting title, Uribe (.678) and Theriot (.672) were 21st and 22nd, respectively, when their on-base percentage and slugging averages were added together to produce their so-called OPS, the best overall rating of a player's value as a hitter (the guys below them: Felipe Lopez, Julio Lugo, Tony Pena Jr. and Omar Vizquel). Any time you see the words "so-called," it's like a bright red arrow pointing to the smugness of the writer. What do you mean, "so-called"? That's actually what it is called. OPS. Why add the "so-called" other than to demonstrate that you are an arrogant twit?
