I'm just telling you there are plenty of intangibles that go into being a successful player,teammate,leader, etc. and these all go into the mixing bowl when evaluating not only the worth of a player but the backbone and chemistry of a team.
These are fair points. But I wonder with a younger core of players if some of those guys will step up next year now that they've gone to the SB. It's possible the intangibles are on the team and ready to come through other players. I wouldn't necessarily drop the coin on one guy if you can find a talent replacement for him just because of the leadership qualities. Bates has been the biggest question mark all season on what will happen in FA. I think it's a tough call to make either way.
