Setting aside the fact that this paragraph is attempting to quantify intangibles, this is still the biggest piece of garbage I've read in a while.
Earlier in the article, he ranks the starters and Verlander is the top No. 1 (big surprise!), Fister is the top No. 2, and Scherzer is the top No. 3. Porcello and Turner are both ranked second in their slots. And yet the Tigers apparently "lack depth in the pitching staff."
And don't get me started on the Royals' "youthful exuberance." Two months into the season, they will have dropped from first to fourth and the same writer will be blaming their youth and inexperience. Garbage.

I'm a little confused how the Royals' shaky starting pitching contributes to their intangibles, but somehow the Tigers' lack of depth at pitching hurts theirs?
