	Rich's Weekend Baseball BEAT
		Marion's OPS that year was.032 below the league average and his OPS+ was 91, indicating his productivity was 9% below par on a park adjusted basis.
		From a purely offensive standpoint, Marion's year was similar to Orlando Cabrera's season in 2003 in terms of BA, OBP, SLG, OPS, and OPS+ relative to the league and position, as well as RCAA and RCAP.
		I recognize Marion was a shortstop and Musial a right fielder and center fielder that year, but there is no way that Marion can overcome his offensive deficiencies to justify his selection over Musial.
