I couldn't disagree more. I don't know how long you've followed organized sports, or if you've ever been a part of a team, but you want your leaders to act like real leaders. Prince's comments are pretty ill timed, and gives a small indication of where his head is. See my post about Sabathia above. And don't kid yourself, they are getting paid regardless of what they do down the stretch. It's a little naive to think otherwise. Prince could go 0-rest of season, and he's still getting 100+mil. Believe that. I've been following organized (professional) sports my whole life. My point is that baseball is much more individualized than, say, football or basketball. "Chemistry" shouldn't be a focus, but for some reason, the members of the 'ol boys club put so much stock into it. I honestly think that Prince is just kinda dumb and he said something he shouldn't have said. These comments will have been old news by Friday night. Chemistry/leadership was a problem on the 2004 Lakers, but I don't think has ever affected the performance of a baseball team.
