"The Intangibles" is the Ultimate Guide for Evaluating the Non Physical Side of the Game of Baseball! The term intangible is an abstract word that benefits from clarification. Intangibles are a cluster of non physical attributes, traits, and habits. Because the concept of an intangible is non physical, it is a matter of quality rather than quantity. In simple terms, this means intangibles have to be assessed rather than measured. I think we would all agree that measurement of physical attributes is much easier to attain than an assessment of non physical attributes. This book addresses the challenge to assess the non physical side of the game of baseball. Baseball Owners, Executive Administrators, General Managers, Managers, Coaches, Scouts, College Recruiters, Parents, Fans, Umpires, The Media, The Players, and everyone else in the baseball world use the term intangibles in reference to a baseball player's non physical attributes. However, when the term "intangibles" is used are we all talking about the same thing? Are we in the baseball world sure we are applying a consensus meaning with similar sub-categories? The purpose of this book is to clarify the concept and makeup of "the intangibles" for those who need to or like to evaluate baseball talent. An adjacent goal is to provide from a baseball perspective consistency throughout the industry with the utilization of the term intangibles and related terms. Finally, the ultimate goal of this writing is to help players assess themselves to make the proper intellectual and emotional adjustments to give themselves the best opportunity to succeed!
