Scouts noticed a tendency for Myers to turn it up a notch in clutch situations, and he has fast hands that help him generate above-average power.

so basically he is more aggressive with runners on in scoring position?

weren’t they saying that he is too selective and lets many hittable balls go by. makes sense i suppose

Do these effectively hide my thunder?

Just once...

I just want to see an old school coach use the word “grit” to describe a player that the saber crowd looks highly on. I swear the world would explode.

MAJOR LEAGUE (The Royals)
Rachel Phelps (Royals Management): I think he'll fit right in with our team concept.
Charlie Donovan (Royals Fans): That reminds me, I was going to ask you. What exactly *is* our team concept?

Can't be gritty unless you have bad stats.

Go Royals!

This.

Grit (and to a lesser extent clutch) is only used when a coach has to try to justify playing a player who has no reason to be playing ie: Bloomquist, Willie

It’s like saying the “special” kid’s art project has “potential”. Its a nice way of saying, wow this is crap, but we’re stuck with him so lets not be mean.

No, he's just super-clutch...like Frenchy

Can you imagine a Royals OF with both of them in it? I bet Dayton Moore can. Who do you think the odd man out would be? It probably rhymes with Malecks Mordon.

You may know me as NYRoyal.
