Yeah i think what he was getting at is - is Ozzie 15x better than Simmons? The answer is no. And even if he is better, is he 14k better if you can use that 14k elsewhere in your team? Ozzie is a small upgrade from Simmons in many regards from the looks of it.
I dont know this personally, since I never used Ozzie - but im going to find out since I just bought him to see how it goes and I use simmons at 3B anyways (where he has even better defense than SS).
For me Ive used Simmons extensively across multiple teams and he is always good for 3+ WAR even in a "bad" year, and multiple 4-5WAR seasons in Diamond across a handful of seasons on the one team where i had the game open.
So if you are flush with PP then give ozzie a whirl. But if you are just starting out or have a lot of areas to fill then perhaps simmons (or vizquel, or others like 83 Boudreaux is a good cheap option) are a better return on your PP, particularly if you dont have an already filled out rotation and good bullpen.
