But, i...I think it's an interesting question. <br /><br />But, if you really dig down and get gritty (so to speak), I would say the thing sabermetricians are railing against is the idea that grit can make up for a lack of talent. <br /><br />If two players are of identical talent (impossible, I know) and one works harder than the other, his "grit" will manifest itself in on-field performance. So, grit in and of itself is no way to measure a ballplayer, but if it's part of the package, it will help him achieve. <br /><br />So, in the end, results are what matters. How a player gets there (within the rules of the game, of course) isn't important. <br /><br />Those are my two cents. Hope they add something to the discussion.
