Quoted for truth.

A big "Thank you!" to all of those who put these numbers together! These numbers should give you a rough idea of what to look for. The real work is done by real scouting - in St. Louis!

"Winning" the rankings in OPR, CCWM, etc... is like winning the SuperBowl in the pre-season. There is a reason we still play the game!

Strategy beats OPR!

OPR isn't doesn't even truly reflect performance in the first place. There's so many factors that skew OPR and cause it to be inaccurate that it really can't be used for much more than a getting a general idea of which teams score a lot of points, which teams score some, and which teams don't score very many.
