Those OPS+ numbers are nice and do jump out at you but he played 102 games in 1968 and 106 games in 1972. His counting stars aren’t great in those years though he did continue to walk like a beast.
I just don’t think you could call him elite. But when I look at Clemente in the same time period I see the same player he was in his prime.
That’s all I’m trying to say.
