A competitive baseball team is more fun than a noncompetitive baseball team because winning is more fun than losing. This is not rocket science. It is almost not even worth stating, but hey, a blog post has to start somewhere, and that place is an obvious one along the lines of “Taylor Swift is a popular musician.”
But follow this logic with me: what does it take to be a good team? In short, a good team has good players. This, too, seems like it’s obvious, and on the surface it is. Dig a little deeper, though, and there’s a more interesting and somewhat hidden wrinkle to this: well-constructed teams aren’t just built with good players.
