Plus, you have to add his strikeout numbers: He strikes out quite a bit, yes. What power hitter not named Pujols doesn't strike out a lot.
his RISP numbers: See numbers below; Not nearly as bad as people think. He doesn't hit for high average, but a few numbers to point out. Man on 3rd with less than two outs, 50 RBI in 70 AB. Runner on 3rd, he's hitting .342.
the fact he couldn't put together a sacrifice fly in over a year: Who cares if they aren't sac flies? As long as they are RBI's? over a 100 a year basically unlike any other Red.
the fact he couldn't routinely move runners over: Don't have anything for that
Again, the game of baseball is more nuanced tham simply boiling it down to OPS. And yes, the guy does walk, but many of the walks come simply because he's being pitched around with a hacker and easy out behind him. And, a walk does not always necessarily equal a single.:
It would be if he batted in the two hole, where is career numbers are insane, which is also below
Wow.

That is a label of consistency right there.
