I have been told that the league average OBS+ is significantly higher than 100 for a regular. Is that true, and does it color how we perceive our hometown 9's attempts to address full-time positions with Moore, Solano, and possibly Willi Castro?

*League average* for OPS+ and wRC+ is 100. These metrics are an attempt to compare players to the average player after adjusting for park effects.

Yes, but subs and injury fillins perform less well. Right? Every year there are only 22-24 folks who fill a full-time role at any given position. Etc. so should there be a standard of 110 or 115 for a full time regular?

That's not how averages work.
