if everything around you stayed the same, your team would likely score the most runs in the season you had the highest ops. it would be interesting to look at either team ops or rc/g without the player being analyzed, and then looking at the correlation.
you also may have some selection bias. bill madlock and dave winfield would throw things off a little. i'm sure there are others.
also, some seasons (NL 1977 for example) have higher overall offensive production, which will inflate both r/g and ops.
not throwing out your analysis, because it's at least a start.
