Well I can't for sure say your theory is incorrect. But just because a player has the same average OPS as another player it doesn't mean they are carded the same. Players that played in low ballpark single and homer parks ( like the astrodome) will typically have better cards than players with similar numbers in more hitter friendly parks ( like Coors Field) It seems that the salaries are driven more off of card chances ( as they should be) as opposed to straight stats.
I guess unless you are referring to the OPS that would be generated based on card chances. If those are the same, defense is the same, and injuries are the same, salaries different, then I agree that would be off.
