OPS leagues are becoming more and more popular. Who are some players whos value significantly increases in these leagues?

presumably guys who hit a lot of doubles and triples, since those get ignored by normal scoring - last year that would have been Brantley, Kipnis, Murphy, Markakis (!), Kiermaier, DPeralta, Eaton. Also if you think Gattis is going to hit 11 triples again he'd be a good pickup.In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby. -
Royals generally. Tough HR park, but good for doubles and great for triples.

Oh. In that case, never mind.

Joey Votto is the obvious name, but some others who are a little less known would be David Peralta, Shin-Soo Choo, Adam Lind, and possibly Joc Pederson.Comment

i actually don't get why a league would use OPS. i'm a huge fan of OBA over AVG and SLG (or other similar power measure; my main league uses EBA) over HR, but like to keep them in two separate categories. having OPS as a category seems like having a WHIP+ERA category. curious, for those who like that as a category, what's the motivation for combining them?
ETA: changed "stat" to "category" to be clear - love OPS as a stat; just curious about combining them in a roto category..."Instead of all of this energy and effort directed at the war to end drugs, how about a little attention to drugs which will end war?" Albert HofmannComment

Looking at double leaders who don't hit a lot of homers is useful, and looking for guys that hit more extra base hits than singles, and guys who walk a lot. Or just looking at the OPS leader board
.
All the names mentioned so far fit in one or more of the above categories. Mookie Betts is another.Comment
