I have to work in 20 so this is gonna be quick:
"Clutchness" exists. From experience, my level of play in bean bags increases when I'm playing better competition. When I'm on the ropes I almost <i>always</i> come through either for the big tying hole or 3 holes in to come back from behind to win. That's why there are Robert Horry's or Steve Kerr's. Don't mistake clutchness for making a shitty player suddenly channel Babe Ruth when the game is on the line. Clutchness is relative and players that would perform well in any situation are those that I am referring to when I speak of clutchness.
Chemistry exists and is a big part of a successful team. Yes, it ebs and flows with the immediate success of a team, but a team ability to work together, coexist, etc. or lack of will effect everyone's ability. Baseball is a game, but it is also a job like any other. Think of your jobs and how well you and your coworkers perform when your boss is being a dick or your guy in the cube next to you won't stop farting.

If Angelo had picked McClellin, I would have been expecting to hear by training camp that kid has stage 4 cancer, is actually 5'2" 142 lbs, is a chick who played in a 7 - 0 defensive scheme who only rotated in on downs which were 3 and 34 yds + so is not expecting to play a down in the NFL until the sex change is complete and she puts on another 100 lbs. + but this is Emery's first pick so he'll get a pass with a bit of questioning. - 1060Ivy
