If it's essentially the same, then why are my NL outfielders completely different in the OPS and RC27 lineups. There are a total of 4 changes among the 16 spots, that 25%, obviously there is a difference. Speed and base running skills do make a difference in the game and its not minimal or insignificant. The lineups above are only for the highest at each position, what if one had to make a decision to choose someone who is middle of the pack OPS in terms of OPS but can steal bases as opposed to some one who is a little better in the OPS department? OPS is good, but RC27 might be a little better and if it is, it will help people make better decisions.
